Can't see "Show Dropbox as a save location in Microsoft Office"

I have installed Dropbox and Microsoft Office 365 on a new Windows 11 laptop.  The option to 'Show Dropbox as a save location in Microsoft Office' is not shown in the Preferences - General settings box as it should be.  I have a couple of older machines, Windows 10 and Windows 11, and the option is shown in those.

Any suggestions as to a fix will be most welcome.

    Hey PeteHutch, thanks for your post.

    Can you let us know what the Dropbox sync status and version is on this Windows 11 laptop, compared to your other computers?

    You can see this info by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your system tray.

    Thanks in advance.
