How come on my other laptop I am still able to have the Dropbox folder on my desktop? Both laptops are exactly the same MacBook Air. The one on my desktop is not the file provider version of Dropbox. It is the older version which I didn’t update. How do I get this older version of Dropbox. I don’t want the new file version. Also, I am trying to put the Dropbox folder on my desktop, not an external drive. Thank you so much for your assistance!
