How can I make my Dropbox folder on my Dell Inspiron 7506 2n1 the default loction when File Explorer is opened?

Also is there way to pin Dropbox folder in File Explorer open so it does not collapse every time I close File Explorer?

Thanks,

Judith

That's not a function of Dropbox. You'll need to find a way to do that using the options available in Windows. Typically, you would just create a new shortcut to Explorer and give it the path to your chosen start folder as an extra parameter.

Likewise, that's not something Dropbox has any control over, and it's not really possible in Windows either. See here.
