Issue with dropbox window in windows 10 taskbar window

I'm trying to move my dropbox from my ssd to a hard drive on my Dell laptop.  I read an article on how to do it, and it seems easy enough.  My problem is that when I click on my dropbox icon in my windows 10 overflow taskbar, it opens a window and the top part is cut off.  I can't access settings and preferences.  It shows the bottom half of one button "you" and the other "shared".  So  I can't access the Move option.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I'm using Win 10 pro latest version on Dell laptop.  Thanks.

    CTRL-click the icon for the legacy menu. You'll need to do it twice as the first time it will open off-screen as well.

    I'm new at this.  What is the legacy menu?  Thanks for your help.

    Sorry, I didn't understand.  I was able to figure it out.  Thanks so much for your help.
