    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.

I had the same problem and then I found out that Dropbox icon is on top menu bar, but it is not visible due to the fact that it is hidden by current app's commands.

Try to remove other symbols and change to a app with very few commands. Then symbol should come out from the left of the menu bar.
