Hello Auskan, I hope you're well today!
So that you can drag the Dropbox folder into your Finder's sidebar, please try the steps below:
- Open your Finder window.
- Choose "Go" from the menu bar in the top right of your screen.
- From the menu, choose "Home".
From here, you can see the Dropbox folder in order to drag it into the sidebar.
Let me know how it goes!

I recently upgraded to Catalina and seem to be unable to move Dropbox to Favorites in the Finder sidebar. The only way I can see the contents of my Dropbox folder is to click on the Dropbox icon in the top right of my Chrome browser, then click on the file icon within that visual menu (see screenshot), and *then* the finder opens with second level of Dropbox folders. This is definitely not ideal. Is there any way to move Dropbox, which is now a "smart" folder, into the Finder Favorites in Catalina or am I just out of luck? Thanks for any help with this.

If you have any trouble with this, let me know and I'd be happy to help further.
