I installed Dropbox on a Windows 10 PC and can access my account via a browser but can't see it in the File Explorer. What do I need to do to be able to have my Dropbox account with the associated folders/files listed on File Explorer?

I ran the installer from your link (it appears to be the same .exe that I ran before a couple of times) and it said that it finished ok but I still can't see a 'Dropbox' folder listed on File Explorer. Any ideas how to get it to show up there so that I can use it locally?

Thanks--at this point I'm just going to delete the account and start over. I appreciate your help.
I have the same issue and can't afford to delete my account because it contains sensitive data. I have used the link above, but it is still not syncing. I have uninstalled anything related to dropbox and started fresh, it asks me to login, but never creates the link to my file explorer on Win 10
If reinstalling it didn't help much @mbrendandyer; you can try a clean, advanced re-install.
Let us know of any updates!

I followed the directions for windows and removed anything related to Dropbox and rebooted. I used the link you sent and installed dropbox. Same thing happened again. All the prompts for logging in were through the browser not the app. Is there a way to block the browser from doing that?
I still can't get it to appear on my explorer.
