BG Mahesh There are a number of ways to get to it more easily. One is to click on the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, and then click on the folder icon in the dropdown that appears. You can also enable "Cloud Storage" in Finder Settings / Sidebar.

fssbob - Dropbox App on this version of MacOS clearly says the path is hardcoded, we cannot change the path 😞

    BG Mahesh Yes, that's correct. I'm not sure what I said that sounded different. I gave you two ways to quickly reach the folder in Finder, but its location is fixed.

    Hey BG Mahesh, are you still having issues with this?

     

    If so, could you try these steps to reset your computer's OS folder and let us know if they helped?

     

    1. Click the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.
    2. Click your profile picture or initials.
    3. Click Preferences.
    4. Click the Accounts tab.
    5. Press the Option key (on Mac) and at the same time click the Reset OS folders locations button.
    6. Click Continue to proceed.

    Thanks!
