It used to be possible to add frequently used items to the Finder sidebar. That seems to have been eliminated in OS Sequoia. I now have to open 5 levels of folders to get to my professional folders and those that I use 90% of the time. Does anyone know how to add a Dropbox folder to the sidebar? Thanks in advance for any insights!
Mac Studio, macOS 15.1
Go the folder you can to add to the side bar, move one level up so you can see said folder, and just drag it onto the Side bar in the Favorites section and drop it. Finder will add it to the list there.

Sounds like you have an issue, nothing has changed in this regard to Finder

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
Dropbox goes in Locations—
refer to your dropbox if in doubt. Move your mouse to the right side to spin the caret if not open...
Finder>Settings>Sidebar>>
The last OS upgrade to Sequoia deleted everything that had previously been in the Favorites section so that the label "Favorites" appeared to refer to everything below. I was inadvertently trying to add the folder too far down the list, which the Finder rejected, of course.
No longer possible to customize the Finder sidebar
