dropbox location to add into adobe bridge favorite folders
for some reason my dropbox folder disappeared from my favorite folders in adobe bridge... and i can't find it in the folders to drag it back into favorites...!!!
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?
sarahsarah98 I don't understand the part about 'Library' being parallel to 'Users' in Finder unless you mean that if you open the MacHD in Finder as a list, then Library is there along with Users, System, and Applications.
BUT that is not the place to find Dropbox. The 'Library' where Dropbox's folder now resides is the USER's Library.
The User's Library is invisible. To make it visible and navigate to it use the 'Go' drop-down menu in the menu bar. Hold 'Option' and click 'Go' and Library will appear in the list. Keep Option depressed, move the cursor to Library, and let go. The Library folder, that is your USER's library, will open. From there scroll down to Cloud Storage. Open it.
Dropbox will be inside.
I made an alias (File->Make Alias) of the Dropbox folder and moved THAT to my Desktop. Or anywhere else convenient. Having done that, it now is easy-peasy to navigate in Bridge to the Desktop and to the 'Dropbox Alias' folder. And hey -- all the things inside the real Dropbox folder are right there.
Thank you. I'd been part of this thread and the answer in spite of many posts has eluded me but this works.
There may now be 2 x 'Library' Folders, One in parallel to Applications [Red Ellipse], as you found and one under 'Users/<YourName>/Cloudstorage' [Yellow ellipse], as in the following screenshot:
Good luck, I hope you solve this.
Yes I neglected to state clearly enough that Mac has TWO libraries -- the System Library, at the same level in the file tree as Applications, Users, and so on; the second being the User Library, found as an invisible folder in the user's Home folder, as TimAldworth points out.
The User Library folder is hidden for good reason: making changes to its contents can mess up the System and cause this or that app or process to fail or at least go weird. Most of the time better left alone. When one really needs to get to the User Library the steps above, using the Go menu in the Finder Menu Bar, will open the User Library folder. Another couple of ways to access the User Library folder are described in this page from MIT:
