Dropbox has been my preferred cloud-based storage system for quite some time. Whether it’s sharing files with other devices or sending large files, it makes the task very easy. Better still, it has been designed to work on any platform like iOS and macOS Sierra.
Just a couple of days back, I found Dropbox missing from Favorites in Finder. It took me some time to bring it back in the sidebar under Favorites. The prime reason why I like to keep Dropbox in Favorites is to be able to access it a bit easily. Here is how you can quickly add this cloud-based app to Favorites in Finder on your Mac.
My Dropbox context menu is missing in OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8). While the Dropbox service runs normally, Finder doesn't show the icons and also doesn't give me the ability to browse files on the website or copy the public link. Sometimes Dropbox “injector” decides not to inject into a new Finder process instance when Finder gets suddenly restarted (maybe Finder crashed on your machine?). I think quitting whole Dropbox via menu-bar icon and starting it again helps. But give it a minute or two to inject. You should see some dropbox messages in Console.app when it. I think you meant tracking speed. Tried that, and switching to left click. Tried and tested all other mouse functions which all work OK. Just the issue that the sub menu, or other functions, e.g. Spelling, does not appear when right (or left) click is used.
How to Add Dropbox to Favorites in Finder Sidebar on your Mac
Step #1. First off, open Finder on your Mac.
Step #2. Next, you need to click on the drive, in this case, Macintosh HD.
Step #3. Now, you have to click on Users.
Step #4. Click on your Username.
Step #5. Finally, you need to locate the Dropbox folder and drag it to the sidebar under Favorites.
That’s it!
If you wish to remove DropBox from finder sidebar, right click on DropBox and click on “Remove from Sidebar.”
