    Hi Alan Jazak, having the Dropbox desktop application installed means that you have a local copy of your Dropbox folder somewhere on your device. 

     

    You can determine where it is by viewing the preferences in the desktop app under the Sync tab. You can also click the folder icon next to the globe icon to be directed there.
