Well it sure is easy to do when you know where to look.

 

Once I realized the dropbox icon I was supposed to use was the one NEXT TO THE BATTERY -- it all went as you said it would.  

 

We now have all the files synced to dropbox on our laptop, and it works EXACTLY as we hoped it would.

 

Many thanks for your patience.  I felt like I was banging my head against the wall clicking on the Dropbox icon on the Dropbox folder and not the one next to the battery icon on the taskbar.

 

This dropbox forum is wonderfull.  Again many thanks.
