Hi there.

 

As stated in my first message my Dropbox folder holds now 660 files in 99 folders (did a little clean up yesterday)

      If you're not familiar with creating a new Operating System profile, you may want to search for exact steps -according to your computer's OS- on the internet Jens_sap.
