DropBox will not allow ACAD LT 2024 which resides on my desktop PC to connect to the files. It offers AutoCAD (web app) as an option, which does not allow full use of the program.

You must be reading about AutoCADWEB and DropBox connectivity and getting distracted by it all I suspect.
LT2024 requires your DWG files to be accessed on your computer, not in a webbrowser. Do you have the DropBox program installed on your PC yet?
it will add a "drive" on your PC like this below then your LT2024 program can access all of your dropbox files from that location ON YOUR PC
That's it. Use OPEN command in LT2024 to get to that location to get to your dropbox files.
Hope that helps.
To find the exact path where your Dropbox files are stored:
There should be a Dropbox App icon in the system tray next to the clock that looks like this:
Right mouse click on this Dropbox App icon
On the upper right hand corner click on the image representing your account
On the menu that appears select Preferences
On the Dropbox Preferences window click on the Sync tab
Your Dropbox files are typically stored under your windows User profile.
So with AutoCAD LT's Open command in Select File window you should now be able to navigate to that location.
all of your DropBox folders and files are stores on your PC here and that is where you use OPEN command in LT2024 to get to them (where I scratched my name out is where your PC/Windows login name goes)
You can double-check that location in your DropBox app
If you need more help finding your DROPBOX files on your computer, DROPBOX support is over here (they have a nice chat box that opens up where you can communicate with them) https://www.dropbox.com/support
I disconnected the Dropbox from my personal email and reassigned it to my new email with the new firm that I am working for. Then like magic access yo the ACAD file completely with xref files.
thanks for your time.
