After updating Dropbox won't show up in Bridge
I use Adobe Bridge in my daily workflow and after the Mac update I can't get dropbox to show up at all. I tried making an alias, reinstalling, showing hidden folders. Nothing works. Please help. I'm ...
I solved this with two steps:
1. Enable "Show Library" in Finder (Cmd+Shift+H to open home window, then Cmd+J for view options, and check "Show Library.") Then I could navigate to User/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox in Bridge, where the folder now lives.
2. I added that Dropbox folder to my favorites, since that path is annoying. Up and running again!

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi SausalitoDog, let's jump right into this!
As a first thing, can you clarify the version of the Dropbox app that's installed on your device? You should be able to see this, by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon, on the menu bar.
Also, does that happen with all files, and folders or some of them? Does it matter if your files are synced as online-only or available offline?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
whoops.. left out one answer... I went into the Location folder and changed the status of all folders to Available Offline hoping that would fix the issue, but no love for that 🙂

HI SausalitoDog, as the Dropbox folder is working normally in Finder, but not Adobe Bridge, it might be worth contacting Adobe for further information regarding this matter.
Thanks, Jay
I have emailed them but no reply yet.
Here's how I managed to work around this problem:
- Inside of Adobe Bridge, in the horizontal bar that shows your current filesystem path at the top of the window just below the icon bar (shows a blue folder Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > ....), click one time to the right of the last item in that horizontal list and it will turn into an input box.
- Type in the path of your Dropbox folder, for me it was something like:
- /Users/dallan/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/
- Then hit enter on your keyboard and it should show the contents in the Bridge grid view.
- Next click on the File drop-down from the very top menu bar and choose "Add to Favorites".
After that, it shows up in the Favorites vertical tree view on the left side.
Hopefully that works for you too.
