Hello everyone,
I get to drop box by opening the mac hd then going down to my user
opening the folder then going to drop box and opening that as well. I then
see my public, and any files and folders that I have created. I am not sure
this is what you all are trying to do, however I find this very painless. I
hope that this can help.
