Where are the desktop app preferences on my Mac device?
I have seen multiple references to the Dropbox preferences. I've spent a lot of time looking, but I can't find preferences anywhere. Where is that?
Here's what I am seeing:

Hi DigiDean! Hope you’re doing well.
If you look at your menu bar (at the top right corner of your screen, close to your clock settings), you should be seeing a small Dropbox icon.
Please click there, and then click to the icon with your initials/profile picture. Your app preferences should be there.
Let me know, if you still can’t see them, though.

Thank you, Nancy! I see that now. Now my question is how do I tell it to back up both my external and internal drives?
