Dropbox StaffHi EricWeber, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I'm sorry for the situation you're currently experiencing. Are you able to login to the Dropbox account itself on the site?

Am I supposed to be able to choose a download location for it, or does it automatically go to the Downloads folder in my wife's User folder, or to some other default location?
