    Hi Megan
    DS Polly doesn't show on the Home page.
    It does show in the shared Folders.
    It does show on the deleted files page, and I have now deleted it permanently.
    I hope that means it will no longer show up in other members Dropboxes.
    Of course, I cannot verify that other than by asking about 50 people.
    Thank you for your patience with all this.
    Ken

When am I going wrong?
