Hi -

 

Running OS Sonoma 14.4.1

 

The status of the dropbox app in the menu bar is fine -- it's currently backing up an external drive; no sync issues.

 

Sync tab shows the location in my library: 

/User/myname/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox

 

I'm pretty sure it will clear up if I quit and restart (it did before), but wonder if there is something else that's causing the location to disappear since it happened again so soon after the last restart.

Thanks for the additional information beanbean - much appreciated.

 

Apart from rebooting your computer, have you tried refreshing your Finder's window by any chance?

 

If not, could you give it a go and let me know if it helps?
