it should not require setup.  when you install it, it places a dropbox folder 
with subfolders on your home folder and you copy items to it's public folder 
and then you can send links to those files by using the control-option-m-m keys 
while sitting on the file you wish to operate on to bring up the context menu, 
arrow to the dropbox submenu and right arrow into it, down arrow to copy public 
link and press enter, drop the link into an message or whereever.

you can also go to:
http://www.dropbox.com
to either login or establish an account and anything you do there while logged 
in will be reflected on all devices using dropbox under that account.  you can 
also upload files to the web site and never have to fiddle with the dropbox on 
the computer.

Hello all,
Okay, here is a weird dropbox problem that I am experiencing.  Last night, I 
downloaded dropbox for my mac.  That worked fine, but every time I errow 
around, it says dropbox has no windows.  I can't figure out how to  set it up, 
and dropbox opens up every time my computer starts up.  I want to be able to 
manually open up drobox and not have it open up automatically.  Voiceover won't 
let me do anything in the app.  I can't even get in to the preferences of 
dropbox to set it up.  What do I do?  How do I close it, and how do I keep it 
from automatically opening up every time my computer boots.  I unchecked the 
checkbox under shut down to keep recent windows opened or whatever that 
checkbox is, but in short I don't know what to do.  I can't figure out how to 
close it at all.   I was going to uninstall it and reinstall it, but every time 
I try to move it to the trash, it says it can't be moved to the trash because 
it is already opened.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
Brian************
