Post macOS folder move, can't find location
I received a notification asking to change the location of my Dropbox folder on my Mac. It said where the cloud folder would be located, but (1) I cannot seem to locate the cloud folder and (2) I accidentally dragged on the folder in the Location bar of Finder and now I can't locate where it is to have it reappear. A little frustrated because now I can't seem to find a way to get the new folder locations favorited in ForkLift.
Looking to locate the new synced folder location and have it reappear in the finder bar. Thanks in advance.
Figured this out with a bit of time.
1) Via https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-faqs (which I got to through my History) I was able to re-show Dropbox in Locations in my Finder.
2) Via https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/iphone-ipod-touch-ipad-android-app-questions/15476-my-experience-with-dropbox-syncing-and-monterey-1231 I was able to find the CloudStorage folder, which is under users/library/cloudstorage rather than library/cloudstorage. Probably just inexperience with this type of work. I can now send the folders to favorites in 3rd party finder applications (ForkLift).
Consider this closed. Thanks.
