Thanks for the screenshot here, Christine!
So, it seems like you're still on the older version of the Dropbox app, as with the new version, the Dropbox folder will be moved to ~/Library/CloudStorage, which cannot be changed.
But not to worry, when the update is ready for your computer, you'll definitely get a notification on your Dropbox icon!

I am on the same version as Christine, and I DO have the "Get Started" link. When I do click it, and go through the whole process, I come back to the same message, that there's an update and "Get Started" link. It says "Up to date" when I hover over the task bar icon.

Please help?
Thanks,
Brian
