Security and Permissions
Start a discussion in the Dropbox Community forum to get help with your account security and permissions. Find support from Community members.
The help instructions (below) say choose Settings but there is not Settings link. There is only Preferences which leads to the following links ... none of which are about Security: General, Account, Backups, Network, Notifications, Sync. (I am on a 2021 MacBookPro 16 running Ventura 13.1)
I cringe with each upgrade on Dropbox because it just gets more complicated and painful to use.
Hi @janeynow
You are using the desktop software to try and do what you need to do on the website.
As step 1 says you need to sign in to Dropbox.com (i.e. the website) THEN click on your avatar at top right and then settings.

I wasn't aware of the distinction between the desktop software and the website.
