Never MIND! I figured it out. When I click dropbox to open it it just puts up in the menu bar next to the bluetooth and wifi icons. I then click that and see all my files. I was expecting it open up like a window or app. I was then able to quit the application from the icon up at the top of the menu bar. Good cause now I don't have to uninstall it. I really thought Dropbox wasn't working.

Thank you so much for this. I just switched to Mac from a PC, and not being able to open DropBox was driving me nuts.
