I have no Dropbox folder on my new computer. Do I have to reinstall Dropbox?

I purchased a new MacBook today (OS Monterey 12.3). I can access my files via dropbox.com, but I like to have dropbox in Finder (and in the quick access toolbar on top of the screen). I still have to transfer from my old laptop to the new one. Will this also re-enable my Dropbox folder, or do I have to uninstall and re-install Dropbox?
