Hi Brad, the dropbox folder appears in the side table in the locations area and when I try to go into its context menu there is no “make alias“ entry where there is such an entry for all other folders. How did it become an alias and how can I put that alias on my desktop for easy access? Otherwise, the home folder approach seems to be the best way. Sent from my IPhone
