    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!

Hi Megan-

 

Thanks for the reply...

 

The version I have in my menu bar is 175.4.5569

To be clear. I CAN view all files via Finder but Adobe Bridge does not show any Dropbox location. I Finder, I see Dropbox now under locations but Finder also shows Dropbox as one of my user folders. I can find the Dropbox "user" folder with another file viewer but it does not show it as a location.

 

thanks for your help

Hi Megan, 

Have you tried dragging the folder or file you would like to open onto the Bridge icon in your dock? It should open and show you the location along the top, which on my computer is: /Users/[username]/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/... 

It will not show up on the sidebar under Folders because Dropbox is now hidden in the Library. Maybe Adobe can fix this since Dropbox can’t or won’t. 

Best of luck.
