Dropbox does not show up in the Finder Side Bar (Apple Sonoma)
Google Drive appears in the SideBar section Locations but DropBox does not appear there Why not ?

Okay, problem solved, or at least a workaround. I just clicked and dragged the DB file folder from my hard drive directory to the sidebar and it's now showing up. NOTICE that DB still DOES NOT show up in the Finder settings. In the past, it DID show and we could click the box to include it on the sidebar.
I'm going to do a restart and see if the DB folder stays on the sidebar. If you don't hear back from me, it did show up so this workaround worked. No news is good news.

Hey Josephus F., sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you please let us know the status and version of the Dropbox desktop app installed on your computer as shown in your menu bar and your Dropbox folder's location as shown in the app's preferences under the sync tab?
Thanks so much!

DB folder location is seen here

Hi Josephus F., it looks like your Dropbox folder is in the older location, and not in the new File Provider location.
It should still function as normal, with all the syncing features, since the sync icons are visible.

It looks OK now but this was Ventura OS
It does not look OK on Sonoma.
I do not see the DB icon in the screen menu so I cannot find the preferences for DB
