After today's upgrade (30 Nov 22), I cannot locate my Dropbox folder
After today's update, i cannot locate the Dropbox folder on my Mac Powerbook running OS 12.6 Monterey. The alias folder is still there on my Dock (but now withuot the Dropbox logo on it) and there is a Dropbox folder,. but now as an alias, in my user folder. But I cannot find where it is actually situated. The update message said it would it in the Library of my user folder: there is no library in my user folder. The message also referred to Cloud Storage, but there is no folder for that anywhere, nor any other reference to it - I do not use Apple iCloud. Any ideas?
Using Go and searching for Users/myname/Library has revealed the Library folder. But there does not seem to be a way of getting it to show in the usual way like other folders.
Anyway - sorted!!

To get your ~/Library folder to show permanently, open your home folder in the Finder, then from the menu bar select View --> Show View Options (or just hit Command-j). In the View Options window that pops up, there will be an option to "Show Library Folder". Just check the checkbox next to that option and your Library folder will be permanently visible.
Thanks for this. If you read the reply before your own, you will see that I had found this solution myself a day ago.
This helped me!
