Apps and Installations

I just installed Dropbox on a new computer (or it acted as though I did). It even found my existing files on my old computer and says it uploaded them for me. But where is it? I'm accustomed to finding Dropbox among the hidden files in the system tray (I believe it's called). But there's no Dropbox there, and also nothing by that name in either Program Files or Program Files (86). And a simple search for Dropbox in File Explorer has found nothing after about 15 or 20 mnutes of searching.
So how do I find the dropbox app?
So maybe they're not on my computer at all, but only on the web? If so, how do I send people
links to them?
Hey @Peyton T., thanks for reaching out to us.
It's strange that you have installed the Dropbox app and cannot locate the Dropbox icon or your Dropbox folder.
How did you install the app? Did you use this link? https://www.dropbox.com/downloading
Have you restarted your computer, just in case?
Let me know how it goes!
