MacOS: No "Dropbox" in the "Location" settings of Finder

    Hey rovf, thanks for letting us know about this.

     

    Can you please hover your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, to see the sync status and the version of the app?

     

    Also, if you go to ~/Library/CloudStorage, are you able to find the Dropbox folder?

     

    Let me know and we'll go from there.

Hey rovf, sorry to jump in here, but could you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status and version of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your menu bar at the moment?

 

Also, can you navigate to the app's preferences under the sync tab and check the Dropbox folder's location for us?
