Never MIND! I figured it out. When I click dropbox to open it it just puts up in the menu bar next to the bluetooth and wifi icons. I then click that and see all my files. I was expecting it open up like a window or app. I was then able to quit the application from the icon up at the top of the menu bar. Good cause now I don't have to uninstall it. I really thought Dropbox wasn't working.

Thanks Amber J. Mine wouldn't open either and was driving me crazy. Just fount it in the top right-hand corner near wifi like you mentioned above. Now I can follow instructions to disable camera upload, by clicking on the dropbox icon, clicking on the gearbox, clicking Preferences, then clicking on Import and unchecking the Enable camera uploads box!
