Can you explain a little about "not seeing drop box folder from Autocad" ?

 

Are you trying to do a "save as" to dropbox?

 

How do you have Dropbox set up on your computer?

I am trying to save a drawing to the dropbox, and when I try and save it, the dropbox is not listed on my explorer.

Are you sure you have the Drop Box desktop app installed?

 

Do you have a folder on your computer called users/brendao/drop box ?

 

When you rightclick a files and select Send To, do you have Drop Box available?

My Dropbox folder on my PC is found under My Documents and the folder is called MY DROPBOX and nothing else. You looking in the wrong spot most likely? Even in Windows Explorer, location is C:\Users\YOURLOGINNAMEHERE\Documents\My Dropbox

Otherwise:
AutoCAD version is...?
Windows version is...?

Are you selecting Favorites from the locations bar (left sash), in the Save Drawing As dialog?  You will not find it there.  Instead, select the Documents location and go up one level to your user name -OR- use the Save in drop-down list to navigate to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE, substituting your user name forYOURUSERNAMEHERE.  [At least, that is where it is on my computer, Windows 7 Enterprise.  I do not recall doing anything non-standard when setting up Dropbox.]

Once you select the Dropbox folder, you may want to add it to the locations bar for easy future access.  Right click on the locations bar and choose Add Current Folder from the context menu.
