Hello, I am not sure if this is just me, or just on my Mac here, but when I go to “Menu Extras” and to the “Dropbox 2.10.41” icon, (Think I got the version number right, anyways, it’s the latest one,) that I do not have to use the mouse to activate it to get the window that comes up with titles of files and the “Settings” button at the very bottom to come up. So, I can just VO Space on that icon, just like any other “Menu Extra,” and it just comes up. That should eliminate some of the steps needed to access Dropbox on the Mac. Also, using something like App Cleaner to completely uninstall Dropbox and reinstalling it may also help. Hope this helps, Jeffrey > On Nov 6, 2014, at 2:03 AM, Andrew Lamanche <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear Lisette, > > I upgraded to Yosemite a few weeks ago but have not had any trouble with > Dropbox.
