Hi there,

I was able to uninstall the desktop app using terminal.  I shut my computer down and restarted it. Reinstalled the app and it sill won't let me drag it over to "favorites".  

Any other ideas?

Thx

Just for clarification, are you dragging the Dropbox folder to the sidebar, or the Dropbox app itself from the Applications folder?

Could you paste a screenshot of what you see when trying to drag the Dropbox folder to the Favorites bar?
