    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:

    1. Open your Finder window.
    2. Choose "Go" from the menu bar in the top right of your screen.
    3. 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!

Could you let me know a little more info on where you're running into an issue, Michelle M.40?

 

Can you drag it to the sidebar, but it's not being added?

 

Or are you not able to drag the folder at all?

 

If possible, please send me a screenshot of the last place you're at when you run into trouble with this, excluding any personal info. Cheers!
