Hi - thanks for trying to help. I have been trying to figure this out and can't find my preferences. I must sound like an idiot - but I can't get past steps 1 (steps 1, 2, and 3, actually) - none of these things is visible to me. I have a dropbox folder on my desktop, or I got to dropbbox.com on a browser and look at the folders there. Can't find the preferences... can't get the dropbox icon to show up in the taskbar, don't see an avatar or my initials in top right.. arrrgghhh.

  1. Open your Dropbox desktop app preferences.
  2. Click the Dropbox icon in your taskbar.
  3. Click your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner.
