Dropbox disappearing from Mac Finder side panel

This is getting annoying. Dropbox disappearing from Mac Finder side panel. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes not.

Sometimes when I want to open a file on Dropbox from within an app, it’s just not there. 
othertimes it will be.

Currently I’m on an M2 Mac Mini

    Hey RAChalmers - sorry to hear about this.

    Can you please clarify your device's OS version, and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your menu bar?

    Does refreshing your Finder or rebooting your computer help improve matters at all?

    Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
