    Hey @alexxws, the steps Jay linked above about selective sync concern the desktop app (not your Community profile or your online account). 

     

    To find your desktop app settings/preferences, you’ll need to click on the small Dropbox icon in your menu bar and then follow these steps.

      Hi Nancy, thanks for your patience 🙂
      When I open the desktop Dropbox app from my Applications folder, I see no Settings/Preferences options. Would add a screenshot, but can't do that here?

        Hey alexxws, let me also jump in here! 

         

        You should be able to click on the camera-like icon in order to attach any screenshot back to us.
