Hey there Cheryl1f​  welcome to the community!

At the moment, the Dropbox desktop app always opens to the Activity view, and there isn’t a setting available to change the default page to show folders instead.

You can still open your folders quickly by selecting Open Dropbox folder from the Dropbox icon in your system tray or menu bar, or by opening your Dropbox folder directly through File Explorer or Finder.

If you want to recommend Dropbox adding this feature, head over to our Ideas forum and make a suggestion!
