    Thank you so much. It worked great but the instructions on the dropbox website (pasted below) are wrong. It says for Windows, to select the gear icon first, then sync. I'm sure you knew what they were trying to say but we old engineers tend to be very literal. Thanks again.

    • Click Preferences (Linux), or the gear icon (macOS and Windows)
