Jay, when I open Dropbox, via the icon in my Windows taskbar, I cannot locate the Syns and Backups tab - please advise

Can you please let us know what you see instead, Ray?
&nbsp;
Just to confirm, are you clicking on the Dropbox icon here?

Ray · Answer

Hanna, I see the blue DropBox icon in the bottom tool bar on my PC. When I click on it, it open a screen showing my DropBox Folders &amp; Files&nbsp;When I login to DropBox via&nbsp;https://www.dropbox.com/h&nbsp;I can see my Account indicating that I am using 3.66GB of 5.5GM storage -I also see Upgrade, Settings, Manage account, Automations, Install Dropbox App &amp; Sign out

Hi again, Ray!
&nbsp;
You actually need to click on the small Dropbox icon at the bottom right of your screen, by the clock and the WiFi icon.
&nbsp;
If you don't see it, you might need to click on the arrow that shows the hidden icons.
