    Hey people, how are you all doing?

    First of all, thanks a lot for your thoughts and comments. They surely help a lot to understand what you want on your end.

    Keep in mind that Dropbox remains focused on helping our customers stay organized and work more efficiently. With this focus, we’re simplifying your desktop experience with improvements to Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, and the taskbar/menu bar.

    Support for the desktop window ends on January 17, 2022.

    Don’t worry—we're continuing to support a great desktop app experience for you and your content is still safe with us.

    Save, view, share, and access all your files with the Dropbox folder in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, the taskbar/menu bar, on dropbox.com, and with the latest iOS and Android apps.
     
    If you need me, give me a shout.

There is no way to now do this - Dropbox depreciated that window on the 17th of Jan. 

 

You now need to use the Dropbox website.
