Thanks Rick, you rock. I need more help since I'm still not getting it after reading online. So I installed dropbox onto my computer and when entering on drop box there is getting started, public and photos. So, do I copy and paste the file into the aforementioned folder in the dropbox ICON that is on the desktop? Or do I go online to do all of this?
