Thanks for the nudge on this merminy
Could you have a look at the desktop app's preferences under the Sync tab to check your Dropbox folder's location?

I have the same issue as the original poster. The 'Dropbox' folder at the given location has now been added to my Adobe Bridge 'Favorites'. But, the content of this folder is the Dropbox App, not the image files that I need. Is this correct?
The dropbox app is fine and so is the Adobe Bridge. I just need to find the dropbox image files in Adobe Bridge.

4 years agoHey TimAldworth, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please clarify what you mean that the content of this folder is the Dropbox App and not the images you need?
Are the files you're looking for in Adobe, available offline on your computer through Dropbox or online only perhaps?

Hi Walter, thanks for the swift response. Since the last Dropbox update the Mac finder puts the 'Dropbox' as a drive, as in this screenshot (highlighted in the grey column on the left):
This Dropbox drive does contain all my files as shown on the right in the screenshot.
The Dropbox application --> Preferences --> Sync shows the 'Dropbox Folder Location' as in the next screenshot:THE PENNY HAS DROPPED !! I was navigating to '../Library/Dropbox/..'. I should have been navigating to '../Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/..'
Now, when I navigate to this defined folder in Adobe Bridge, I see all my files !!!! as in this Adobe Bridge Screenshot:
I continued with the response, even though I found my error, in case it helps someone else.
Many thanks for the help!- sarahsarah984 years agoNew member | Level 2
Hi! Thanks for outlining what worked for you.
I am having the same issue, except the "folders" that Dropbox Sync mentions as "dropbox folder location" doesn't exist. I tried updating Bridge to see if that would work and move folders around but I'm still having the issue. I really need my dropbox folder in my Bridge!
Dropbox is telling me the folder is located: /Users/admin/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox
However... in my computer, Library is not nestled under Users, they are parallel. Also "CloudStorage" does not exist. I am attaching photos of both views in case it helps.
Would really, really be thankful if someone can help. Thank you!

Hey sarahsarah98, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please clarify the app's status and version as shown in your menu bar at the moment?
Also, have you rebooted your computer at all since you first noticed this?
