My sidebar favorites in Finder keep randomly disappearing in Big Sur 11.0.1. A restart doesn't bring them back, I have to manually drag back in my items, like movies, downloads, and a few custom folders.
Any ideas?

You should update to 11.1.My sidebar favorites in Finder keep randomly disappearing in Big Sur 11.0.1
that doesn't solve this issueYou should update to 11.1.
Ok. Do the folders randomly disappear while the Finder window remains open. Or do they disappear in the time between closing and reopening the Finder window? If they simply don’ t stick when reopened, I think your problem may be related to the resizing of open/save windows that lots of folks are seeing, including me. Check this discussion. The good news is that it is fixed in the release candidate 2 of 11.2.Added the folders back in manually.
Interesting, thanks. No, it happens when a window is closed. They just don't go poof as I watch, or something like that. What is weird is I've had Big Sur for months now and this just started happening this week. I'll await the update.Ok. Do the folders randomly disappear while the Finder window remains open.

I have 11.6 installed and still getting the same issue.You should update to 11.1.
Generally same to me. Happens to my MBP 14 2021, but not in my iMac 2015, same macOS 12.6.2. VERY frustrating too.This happens to me on my iMac, but not my Mac Mini, even though they are always running the latest non-beta version of macOS. And not all of my favorites disappear, but many do. VERY frustrating. Many of them are OneDrive folders, but that can't be the issue because they're the same folders I dragged to the Favorites sidebar on my Mac Mini and those don't disappear.
So as a workaround, what I'm doing is creating a "favorites" folder in my home directory and putting aliases in there for all the folders I normally had over in my sidebar. Then I drag the "favorites" folder to the Finder sidebar. So now if macOS decides to randomly remove THAT folder from the sidebar, all I have to do is drag ONE folder back, not many.
