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?
