Your recommendation successfully got the DropBox Windows app to appear on the desktop and respond to an open command. I expected the app to take me to my DropBox account without a browser. That is not its purpose because I got an app that opened the account but displayed the locally stored files that mirrored what was stored within my DropBox account.
