Hi Russell,

Sorry its taken so long to respond.  I've fallen way behind on my mail.  lol.  
I don't think there is anything really necessary to change in settings for 
dropbox.  Well, you might want to change the upload bandwidth to unlimited.  
This will help a bit.  A sighted person needs to click on the dropbox icon 
found in the status menu bar on the top right half of the screen.  By the clock 
is where they should be looking.  then pick preferences from the menu.
