How to stop Dropbox from opening automatically on Mac

How to stop Dropbox from opening automatically on Mac

I've tried to follow the instructions that were provided to @Walter on 2/6/23 to disable automatic Dropbox start-up when I open my Mac. When I click on the Dropbox icon at the bottom of my screen, I get the file folders that I've set up, not a page that has my Profile initials. Where do I locate the Preferences? 

Thanks for your help.

You need to click the Dropbox icon in your menu bar; not the one at the bottom of the screen.

Thank you, Rich! I stumbled the Preferences tab accidentally. What a relief. And I very much appreciate your help!
