Finder sidebar favourites - dropbox icon keeps appearing at the top

Hi, After the latest update in Big Sur the icon for Dropbox in the finder sidebar always appears at the top. I can drag it to reorder it but when I restart it is back at the top again. Anyone else having this issue?

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 11.6

Hi leroydouglas, the issue is new - previously the dropbox icon would stay where I wanted it, further down the list of favourites. Now it reorders and goes back to the top every time my computer starts up. Dropbox itself is up-to-date (v131.4.3968).


Did you try deleeting the Folder from the sidebar, than add it back in.


Control click on the Folder in the side bar:

Old issue, new issue, what changed...?


For your third party app you can verify the software is up to date.

You can Quit Dropbox, relaunch it and see if it presents you with an update.




My Dropbox folder is at the top of Favorites, I never tried to move it.
