How can I get Dropbox in Finder?
I have read the earlier discussions on getting DropBox into Finder and the bottom Menu but unfortunately they are not working on my new MacBookPro (which is a very basic model). It is using Sonoma 14.7.1.
I need to constantly access my DropBox files from wherever I am working, but am unable to dop so. This is a huge hindrance to my work on a daily basis. Desperate for advice please.
Hey makere, thanks for the screenshot!
It looks indeed like the Dropbox icon is missing from your Mac's doc. Would you mind clarifying the app's current syncing status?
Have you tried uninstalling the app, restarting the device and re-installing it by any chance?

As far as syncing goes, it updates quickly except for the fact that it says there are 19 files it is updating - and is apparently always doing so.. I have no idea which 19 files or why 19.
I have not tried uninstalling and re-installing the App and will do so tonight. Thanks for that !
well this is troubling... the Installer was non-responsive for a while. then there was a flurry of activity and it has installed the "Date Modifed 31 December 1979 5.00pm' version, I kid you not.
it did not ask me to sign in or anything else.
this is what is showing in my Finder settings:

I can only access the Dropbox app if I click on Macintosh HD which then gives me access to all the apps. ah, I can access it from Favourites Now.
Thank you!!
