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

I have updated Dropbox on MacOS (12.6.5), and I have learned that I should know be able to see "Dropbox" in Finder on the left hand pane under 'Locations'. However there is no such entry; 'Locations'...

    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.

    UPDATE: I figured it out... The checkmark wasn't checked in Finder Preferences. It was just a line...checked it and it returned.

    I'm having the same issue. I accidentally dragged the Dropbox item from Locations in the Finder and now I can't get it back. How did this get resolved? Please help.
