Where is the gear icon on my Dropbox desktop app?
Anyone know where to find the gear icon on Dropbox?
I have Windows 10 and finally, finally found the gear icon and preferences. I agree that finding this should have been easier -- it should appear when one clicks the DropBox icon on one's desktop. But it doesn't. I created a very quick and dirty set of 4 screenshots that shows, in a very simple way (which is how I can understand these things) how I got to it. It starts with (1) the "show hidden icons" button that looks like an up arrow, on the lower right-hand corner of my screen (the area known as the "systems tray" - then (2) I clicked the DropBox icon (has a little check-mark on it) - then (3), a little box opens (labeled, "up to date" and lists "recently changed") and, lo and behold, the blasted gear icon appears in the upper right corner of it, so (4) I clicked that and got a dropdown menu that included "preferences." My very amateur set of screenshots is here:
This really is appalling. Dropbox and all these technology companies are owned by billionaires and employ top people. I simply cannot find the "gear icon". Why can the Dropbox info not make this idiot proof? It simply says click the "geat icon". I have Windows 10 and have clicked on every single thing that can be clicked on, accessing every single route into dropbox (from desktop to task bar to search menu etc).
I am reasonably computer literate compared to my parents or many other people, yet I cannot provide this because dropbox have made it so hard. Unforgivable when top companies do this.
