Q: How do I use Dropbox?

For some reason, I can't find out anything about Dropbox on my Powerbook.  At one time it was listed in the Sidebar of Finder, but not now.  How do I find and then use Dropbox?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11)

    If you have a Dropbox folder on your Mac you can add it to Favorites in the Finder sidebar by locating the folder and dragging it to the sidebar. If you can't find the folder, open Finder and type Drobox into the search box. It should find both the Dropbox folder and the Dropbox application; it will be the folder that you want to drag to the sidebar, not the application.

     

    If there is no Dropbox icon in your menu bar (menu at the top of the screen), you can start Dropbox by double-clicking on the Dropbox application. Then you may want to go to the Dropbox icon in the menu bar, click on it, click on the gear-shaped icon at the bottom the dropdown that opens, click on Preferences, click on General at the top of the Preference window and then put a check mark in front of "Start Dropbox on system startup."
