3. On the Set Up Dropbox screen, enter your account email address and password in the fields provided, then click
   Sign in.
   
4. Click the Open my Dropbox button.
   
5. When the Welcome to Dropbox dialog screen appears, click on
   Get Started.
   
6. Click on Next, as well as the next two prompts to proceed.
