    Hey David E.52, thanks for posting your question to the Dropbox Community.

     

    After installing the Dropbox application to your computer and signing in, a "Dropbox" folder should have been created in your File Explorer/Finder.

     

    This folder should contain all your Dropbox files, as long as the application has finished syncing them.

     

    Do you not see this folder on your end?

     

    Keep me posted.
