Dropbox gone as app in Mac Studio? User error?

[machenryr]

Normally when I get a new Mac or OS I have Dropbox as an included application. I don't know. Maybe I had been using Migration Assistant and it just migrated on it's own and I forgot that I ever installed it. I loved having that as an application in my favorite sidebar. Peffect for importing photos and files. How can I install it back on my Mac as an app? Is Apple just trying to get me to use iCloud instead?

Dropbox isn't an Apple app, so it's never been included as part of the original install package.

You can just download and use it.

1. Download Dropbox
2. Log-in with your Dropbox username and password and let it install.
3. There is no step 3.

You could ask the same question of Box, Google Drive, OneDrive, Proton, etc.

Apple includes support for iCloud. All the others, you install their app separately and always have.

OK. I know it's not an Apple app. I guess downloading it from the app store is the answer. Thanks.

Weird though. I can't find dropbox. I find applications FOR dropbox. "Documents for Dropbox." Quick Access for Dropbox, etc. Sorry. I have the website with my login but not the app. I used to have it in my side bar. When I click the link MacGizmo posted above it just takes me to my webpage for my dropbox account. I'm trying to get it in my sidebar

Dropbox isn't available in the Mac App Store. You have to download it from the Dropbox web site:
