      Thanks Megan! I had not tried that earlier because I was already a dropbox member thru the old computer.  I have now downloaded the app on my second iMac but clicking on the icon does not work! I guess I need some add'l help.

        Hey Landsmann_5472x, thanks for the fast response!

         

        Do you click on the bigger icon on your menu bar, that redirects you to your Dropbox folder, or your little Dropbox icon next to your WiFi?

         

        Would you mind clarifying your iMac's current OS, along with the Dropbox syncing status of the app at the moment?
