What do you see when you go to dropbox.com, can you send us a screenshot?

Dropbox was already installed. It cannot be opened nor downloaded because the browsers Safari, Google and Firefox are too old and cannot be updated. I can however use Yahoo to open Dropbox.

I cannot send a screenshot at the moment as I am away. I have updated my OS to High Sierra but I cannot update the browsers as they need an even more recent OS. The browsers not updating for Dropbox are Google, Firefox and Safari. I can open Dropbox through Yahoo but need to go though a Brower to get to Yahoo, a convoluted path.
