Thank you for your help! This remedied the problem. It is, however, a little different for Ventura users. See below:
In Ventura 13.1 go to:

- Click on the "sidebar" icon
- In the "Locations" list click or unclick Cloud Storage, then click again so it is checked.
All your cloud storage locations will now show up. Dropbox should be back on there.

That solved it... showing Cloud Storage in the side bar. Thank you! 👍 So while *technically* it's an OS thing, I'd argue an update that relies on a visibility toggle that is set to off by default and is buried in a settings menu you use once every 3 years, is a fairly unhelpful user experience. Ideally the update process should, at some point, make you aware of this. Or maybe it's a sneaky way to get more forum sign-ups. Either way, thanks for the snooping and solving!
