In the Dropbox desktop application preferences, is this setting enabled to have it start when the computer is booted?

I think I know what the problem is and it is unfixable. I messed up a while ago and I've totally rearranged my file structure on this computer.  I see that dropbox is not installed on C:/ because C no longer exists (or I don't know where it is) Dropbox is installed on my name 

Billie Raven/desktop.  I think I did an heck of a job messing up. 

It's fine really I'll just continue to drag shortcut into taskbar and clicking on that. I just wanted to make sure I could access certain files on my phone since I am going to the hospital 😞

I will try getting one drive or google drive to obey me
