Dropbox application just opens a Finder window now - won't open app!
When I run the Dropbox application on Mojave or Cataline Mac OS, instead of the application, it just opens a new Finder window. I want the application back - how do I run it?

I'm on Windows so it looks a bit different, but the same option is right there in your screenshot. Just change it to Dropbox desktop app.

Go into Dropbox Preferences and make sure it's set to open folders in the app, and not Finder.

I am having the same problem and when I open preferences I only have the first two drop down menus. The option Open Folders In is not there.
I have uninstalled and re-installed twice. Shut down and restarted. No change
The app was working fine 2 weeks ago and as far as I can remember there have been no OS updates in that time.
Please advise
Like GarethA, I am having the same issue where I cannot open my Dropbox desktop app - it only opens in Finder. I opened my Dropbox Preferences, but I can't find the "Open Folder In" dropdown. Please advise!
Hello, this was discontinued as of January 17, 2022. Is there a way to access this feature again?
