I can no longer access Dropbox through Finder on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1.
Did this update by Apple break dropbox? Can no longer access through the finder.

I'm using macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and I'm also experiencing issues. Things are definitely not working like they used to.

Hi there,
I'm having a similar problem. In my case:
- The Dropbox app is running and syncing, however
- Dropbox is no longer visible in Finder and the only way I can get to Dropbox is via the app
This has happened after I recently upgraded to macOS Sequoia 15.1 on my M3 Macbook Pro. Firewall is active. Dropbox client version is 212.4.5767.
Can you advise how to get Dropbox back into Finder, please?Many thanks,
Bart

I am also not able to use my Dropbox desktop app. When trying to access, the message is 'The application "Dropbox.app" can't be opened'. I also cannot locate this app in the app store on my MacBook, so it cannot be reinstalled. It was migrated to a new Mac that had Sonoma 15 already installed.

there is no error message - just the folders / file names in dropbox are not showing up when searched for in finder

I have tried re installing the dropbox app, turning on firewall ( it was off), removing apps from the spotlight and then re adding it, re starting the computer - NOTHING is working... so frustrating!!!
I'd like to share a screen shot - but the paperclip doesnt do anything.....ugh
