Quick Access for Dropbox
Quick Access for Dropbox lets you work with your Dropbox files in Finder. It suits you if you prefer familiar Mac folders to uploading and organizing files on the web.

What you get
You can work with Dropbox files directly in Finder.
You get your Dropbox account in Finder’s sidebar, so you can handle cloud files with the same shortcuts you use for local folders. Drag in photos, documents, or entire folders to upload them, then rename, move, or delete items without switching to the Dropbox website. When you edit a document stored there, saving it sends your changes to Dropbox without a separate upload step.
You can browse your account without downloading everything to your Mac. Open a file to download it, keep selected files available offline, or leave others online-only to save local storage. Files added or changed through Dropbox on another device also appear in Finder. You can search by filename within folders you’ve already opened.
You need a Pro upgrade to use Dropbox in Finder; downloading the app and signing in are free. You can choose an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
