Selective Sync
I would like to use selective sync. However I can not find the sync options in my preference roll down menu. How can I proceed? Tx for your reply, Nicky
You need to find Dropbox on your status bar (i.e. the bit near the clock of your computer), then click on the icon top right:
In that menu click on Preferences and then 'Sync'

Dropbox Community ModeratorAre you simply clicking or double-clicking the Dropbox icon on your task bar? Also, is this the Dropbox folder you're clicking on or the app's icon in your system tray NickyR ?
You should be able to bring up the app's preferences by simply clicking on the Dropbox icon in your system tray, that's why I'm asking.
I am having the same problem! I urgently need to un-sync some very large files and cannot find the "preferences" to click on. I do have an icon in my tray and it seems to open Dropbox in my browser, but when I open it from my desktop instead I still don't have the button I need to click. Please help!
Also--when I click on my avatar at the upper right of the screen, one of the options there is "Install Dropbox App." Does this mean the app is not actually installed already? I am working on a brand-new Win 11 laptop that was set up only a few days ago by a tech professional who downloaded Dropbox for me, so this doesn't seem possible, but it looks like it is an option for me and I don't know why. Any help appreciated--I have hit a wall here! Thank you.
