    Now what happened. I clicked that link and I guess started downloading DBox. I saw a window that had something about Rename? Not sure what I did but now when I open the desktop shortcut none of the files and folders are in there?

    Unless you have installed Dropbox it wont work. 

     

    You need to install it and follow the advanced option prompts to put the folder/directory where it was before. Give it time to then sync/index/update and all will be good.

      Should I remove DBox first, it obviously was installed, as I was looking at it today from the desktop shortcut?
