Re: Need some pointers on using Dropbox
OK Jamie. First thing's first. If you got signed in, what happens if you go into your home directory in the Finder at this point, then look for a folder called Dropbox? Do you see your stuff inside there? If not you might have to uninstall and reinstall Dropbox. There's a little trick to getting the installer to be accessible the whole way through, but if you're signed in as you say, it's sounds like you're already up and running for the most part. I can talk you through the reinstallation if be needed, if you'd like either over e-mail, or over the phone. There wouldn't be any charge since this is such a basic question. 1-888-405-3185, option 1, from the menu, Monday-Friday 8-5 Eastern. I'll also be on the Serotek Socializer here in just a bit, so if you'd like, you also can hit me up there. Chris Gilland.

Re: Need some pointers on using Dropbox
Just a little personal tip. I like to create sub folders within my Dropbox folder (which, as Alex says, is located in your home user folder). Then, I add these subfolders to the Finder sidebar and/or my doc, and create aliases on my Desktop. Adding them to the Finder sidebar in particular makes it easy to save files into my Dropbox or its subfolders and access files from within it. Correctly set up, it doesn't even feel like a separate application anymore, but rather just like the regular ol' finder, only with magical syncing abilities. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Need some pointers on using Dropbox
I needed to enter my Apple password before Dropbox could do its thing. All appears to be working as it should now. Thanks.

Re: Need some pointers on using Dropbox
If you want to get to your Dropbox folder, navigate to your user account in Finder; there is a Dropbox folder right under there. The menu icon is for showing upload and download status, preferences, and so on. On Feb 28, 2013, at 8:23 PM, Jamie Pauls wrote: > Drop Box says it is starting. I have seen this for quite some time.

Re: Need some pointers on using Dropbox
Drop Box says it is starting. I have seen this for quite some time. Do I need to either restart the Mac or quit and relaunch Dropbox to get things going?

Re: Need some pointers on using Dropbox
You can only access it from the extras menu (vo m twice). You can't get to it from the applications menu.

Re: Need some pointers on using Dropbox
Drop box is a bit nonstandard, it does not show up in your command tab list of apps. You need to press VO m twice to get to the status menus, then navigate left and right through the items, drop box should be one of them. You need to use the VO navigation here, using the reguar arrow keys will only take you to the built in apple status items rather than all of them. I think this is a bug in the operating system that's been there for some time, but the voiceover keys will get you to the item you want.
