I can't get dropbox to show in bridge.  It was there before  the last wipe of my hard drive but disappeared when I had to reinstall OS.  I've googled but what it is telling me to do, I can't find the buttons to check.  Navigate to User/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox "cloudStorage" doesn't exist there. It said to then drag it to bride favorites. The "app" is in applications so I tried dragged it from there.  It goes but doesn't show the folders.  When I reinstalled the system rather than still being NancyAbby user it created a NancyAbby_1 user which is the one it uses.  I'm wondering if that is part of the issue.  I've been tempted to delete the original nancyabby but scared I'll do it wrong.  Screen shot attached.  As you can see there is a deleted user "Nancyabby" also and those folders are all empty.  Can I just say MAC screwed me over wiping the hard drive just to replace a bad key on the keyboard!!

Try this: 

  1. Open Finder

  2. Click the Finder Window to make sure it's selected.

  3. Press CMD+SHIFT+H. This will make sure you are at the "Home" Window / Section.
     
  4. Press CMD+J. This will open your View Options.

  5. Check the Box next to "Show Library Folder." Then close the Window / Box. 
     
  6. Now while in Bridge, navigate to Computer >> Users >> Your Profile Name >> Cloud Storage. There should be a Pop-up Box asking for Access to Dropbox or any other Cloud Service Folders. Tell it Yes/OK. Then Right Click on the Dropbox-Personal (or whatever it's called,) AND ADD THE DROPBOX FOLDER TO YOUR FAVORITES IN BRIDGE.

  7. That should take care of things. Since I use OneDrive, and not DropBox, this is the example I can give you. Yours will probably say DropBox. (Whatever the folder was called. No, I wouldn't change the DropBox Folder's Default Name, leave it alone.)

  8. Minimize Bridge and close out any Finder Windows / Boxes.
