Don't know if I have app or not
I am using an iMac running OS 14.1.2.
I downloaded the Dropbox desktop app. It shows up in my application folder, and I have an icon in my dock. However, if I click on the Dropbox app icon in my dock, all I get is a regular Mac window that says Dropbox at the top, and includes two files. One is a .url item, and the other is a .pdf item, both about getting started with Dropbox.
I never get the word Dropbox in the upper lefthand corner of my finder. I never have Dropbox menu items. The only time I have interfaced with Dropbox at all is while in Safari.
Am I using this app? I don't think so, and I don't know why. Things I see mentioned regarding the app are nowhere in sight.
Somehow, while in Safari, I did manage to get a backup going. Based on the progress so far, my 750 GB of data is going to take about 15 days to upload. Does that seem right?
All input will be most appreciated.
Thank you, Mark!
And my upload speed earlier was between 1.7 and 3.5, depending on whose speed dial I used. Now it's around 11. But I'm going to have to bite the bullet and trash a LOT of photos. A good part of what I amassed in forty years as a professional photographer is still on the drive, and most of it can be trashed no problem; the problem is that the task will be mammoth. But I'm retired!
Thanks again.
