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 running Ventura 13.2.1 with the latest Adobe bridge software.
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!

Hey mlcwade, sorry to hear about this.
Have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this discussion?

I've looked through and tried many suggestions, but can't locate Dropbox to put back into my Adobe Bridge.
thank you,

Hey mlcwade, how did you initially connect Adobe Bridge to your Dropbox?
Is it possible that it might need to be reconnected?

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.

I thank you, Dallan, for this workaround. Dropbox and Adobe need to kiss and make up or something because this is a ridiculous issue that only hurts the user's experience in exchange for what can only be surmised as corporate hubris.

Thanks. I've already done this however, it does not really fulfill the end result of being able to smoothly use, see, move files and folders in the same manner as before all the great updates! It's a slow process now. Thanks again for help though. I do wish DropBox and Adobe get their act back together again. Marylou
