Why do, for no apparent reason, the folders I have added to the Finder's sidebar just disappear when I open a Finder window?
Sounds like a preferences issue...
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a some finder prefs the way you like them.)
We've got Windows SBS network shares and a OSX Server with a Hive raid, guess which one plays nicely with the sidebar and doesn't lose connections when the mac sleeps.
It's a windows managed network with active directory users
No. Not running Parrallels. I've got a copy but never installed. This is connected to a Mac running MacOS 10.12.3 with Server App. It's everything Apple specifies.
I'm running Parallels and having the problem

I'm not running Parallels or similar software and I'm having this problem, so the two are unrelated I think.
I noticed that the problems began when Apple went from cats to next generation of names.
Judging by the posts I've read, I think you might be right.
Now whenever I drag a folder from the local drive to the sidebar, all my other work folder DISAPPEAR. ***? This is a serious disruption to workflow.
Is this just after the update 10.12.4?
I did an update yesterday but this has been ongoing.
Easy fix. Thank you.
At one point I was convinced that it was Parallels doing it to me but I think I convinced myself it wasn't that after all. It's very hard to troubleshoot.
why folders disappear from finder sidebar in mavericks?
