The app itself should appear at the bottom near the tool bar - the bit where the clock is. That is what you need to click on to.

Well yes, I can find the app in the task bar, and I've tried opening the app by using the search function, but everything just opens the File Explorer. Is there any other way of opening the app WITHOUT making it open the location in File Explorer? Or is it possible to find Preferences in the File Explorer? That's where I'm stuck.
I really appreciate the help, but I'm getting increasingly frustrated not being able to open the app properly because clearly I'm missing something.
I found another thread from a few years ago with a picture that made it click for me, I was looking for the wrong thing! I didn't realize there was a difference since everything is called "app".
In case anyone has the same issue as me, it's the small monochrome Dropbox symbol on the right-hand side of the task bar next to the notification arrow, NOT the shortcut symbol in the main task bar or search bar.
