Mac OS and shared folders

I've been a Windows user forever.  Just started using a Macbook. On my Windows machine, using Dropbox integration in Windows Explorer, I can see my individual user folder as well as what I will call...

Hi MSDinFL, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you check your selective sync settings to ensure the team folder is enabled to sync down to your machine?

 

Keep me updated with any progress!

I thought the Dropbox app would be where to go.  But when I open the Dropbox app through Launcher, it puts me in the Dropbox folder in Finder.

 

Like I said, new to Mac OS, so I apologize if I'm being obtuse.

    Could you try accessing the preferences by following these steps?

      There is no Dropbox icon in the menu bar.  I reinstalled the Dropbox Mac desktop app.  No DB icon in the menu bar.

       

      I am on the latest version of Ventura

        Hey MSDinFL, how are you today?

         

        Is it possible that there are a lot of icons in your menu bar and Dropbox is hidden? 

         

        If you reduce the number of apps running there, does that bring up the Dropbox icon?

         

        And if not, can you try the steps here, to make sure the Dropbox icon is selected to appear in your menu bar?
