    I solved this with two steps:

    1. Enable "Show Library" in Finder (Cmd+Shift+H to open home window, then Cmd+J for view options, and check "Show Library.") Then I could navigate to User/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox in Bridge, where the folder now lives.

    2. I added that Dropbox folder to my favorites, since that path is annoying. Up and running again!

I have followed all suggestions and I still can't get my workfow to work. I want to see a tree folder view in the "Folders" panel. Yes I can add a dropbox folder in the "Favorites" panel but this does not give me a tree structure view of folders in Dropbox. How can I get this tree structure view back of Dropbox sub-folders?

    Hi Scottyxc, welcome to our Community!

     

    I'm guessing you're referring to our website, and how the folder structure shows there, right? 

     

    If not, don't hesitate to clarify, and let me know more.

     

    Would you mind sending over a screenshot of how the folder structure currently looks there, in order for me to have a visual? 

     

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

    If you type command + shift + .
    The finder will show hidden directories.
    Then In bridge you can navigate to user/library/cloud storage/dropbox and have it show as a dropdown folder.

    A workaround that works for me
