    Microsoft support couldn't fix it either. I had to exit S-mode and download the full Dropbox. It seems the microsoft website is not quite telling the truth. Thanks for your input, Mark

I cannot find the preferences tab in Dropbox S to be able to add Dropbox to finder. I am unable to save documents to the Dropbox app from emails.

Hey jk619, and welcome to our Community! 

I've merged your question under this thread, since it echoes the rest of the users. 

Essentially Dropbox for S Mode won't give you the ability to sync your content locally. You'd need to first exit the S mode using the steps Microsoft provides on their end, then install the stable Dropbox version from here. 

Let me know if you have any issues along the way!
