Question

Import location folder not untwirled?

It used to be that when I imported photos to LR Classic, using an Import Preset, the destination folder was visible on the lower right side of the screen in the import dialog. Not any more (for a couple of versions now I'd say).

Now all I see is Macintosh HD and the users folder. Maybe it's important to note that I'm importing into a dropbox folder that on recent mac os versions is in /Library. 

It used to be that the Destination folder tree was untwirled to the actual destination folder and I could select another sub-folder for example. 

Any idea how to make it show up again?

The Dropbox folder was moved and is now like a different disk, the same as Apple iCloud Drive. That is why it does not show the same way as before in the import dialog. If your preset still works, then there is nothing to worry about. If it doesn't work, then that is the reason and you'll have to update it.

There is something to worry about. I'm getting worse preformance than before. Apple + Adobe + Dropbox are working together to give us worse performance. 
I make a new Month folder every month and want to switch easily when I import photos. Now I have do dig deep in the folder structure to reach the folder I want to import to.

It should still be possible to create an import preset that brings you directly to the destination. You'll just have to update your existing preset or create a new one.
