How to access Dropbox preferences in Windows 11
Hi folks, I use Windows 11 and somehow ticked automatic backup of computer files into Dropbox. Tried to change this in preferences but I am not sure how to access Dropbox preferences in Windows 11. An...
I am already at 1920x1080 and didn't change that.
Yes I rebooted several times since I noticed the issue.
The only workaround I found is the press Ctrl-Space while Dropbox window is active, select Move in the menu and then move the window with arrow keys until the profile icon appears.
Even with DPI scale set at 100%, I don't have the profile icon and some text in dialog box appears too small to read, like file properties in Explorer. I had to put it back at 125%.
I am having the exact same problem on four machines or from windows to window 11 Pro and two windows 10 pro the exact same thing he is seeing
I want to move the files from the c drive to d drive but I can’t see the preference for the sink options. How do you fix this?
I tried everything: Reinstalled Dropbox app, scaled to 100%, opened with Ctrl-click. Nothing. Dropbox works, but there is no way to access preferences to change my synch options or to change the drive. When I open Dropbox, no matter how I access it, I only can see the files in it.

Tried the legacy menu? CTRL-left-click the Dropbox icon in your system tray.
Yes. Nothing. Now I even uninstalled Dropbox, reinstalled it and that allowed me to choose my new drive. But I still cannot get access to preferences or sync because there is no avatar. I used to have it, but not any more.
My Bad: So I have the Dropbox icon in two locations on my taskbar. If I ignore the main icon and move all the way to my right on the taskbar, there is another B&W icon for Dropbox that allows me to sync and set preferences.

The first icon to the left is just to launch the application if it's not already running, or it will open the folder. The smaller icon in your system tray is the actual application, which is the one you use to access the main Dropbox menus.
