    Hey generdude, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

     

    Note that with the new version of the desktop app for Mac OS, your Dropbox folder in Finder will now be found under Locations instead of Favorites.

     

    You can learn all about this and the other expected changes in this Help Center article. 

     

    Let us know if you have any follow up questions.

Hey JJM3, awesome! 

 

In this case, the app is still using the updated version, no need for you to worry about that. It just seems like you would need to customize your Finder sidebar, in order to add Dropbox there. 

 

And change from Favorites to Locations. 

 

Have you tried any of these steps found on the Mac's forum?

Thanks. To add Dropbox back to the Locations in Finder Sidebar, I opened finder Preferences and in Sidebar tab checked Cloud Storage. When I did this I saw Dropbox come back on the Locations in Finder Sidebar.
