Dropbox in Finder

Since the latest upgrade I cannot put the folder into Finder (in Monterey).  is there any way of getting it back there?   (not sure if this is the right location for this post?)

    Thank you for responding.

     

    Someone else posted about this problem, and got this response from Rich:

     

    "Due to restrictions put in place by Apple, you can no longer move the Dropbox folder on macOS."

     

    With this link:

     

    https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-faqs

     

    so I guess that answers the question.  Sadly.

Hi xxx9, sorry to jump in here! 

 

Is Dropbox visible at all under Locations? Can you send me a screenshot of what you described too?

 

I'd appreciate a screenshot of your app's preferences, and specifically the Sync tab, please.

 

Thanks!
