I am not new to using DB, I just haven't committed to REALLY using it and basing management of my online content using it because then (and now) it boggles the mind how obvious features and functions aren't present or simply don't 'function'!

I created new folders 2009, 2010, 2011 and so on, made a search for every single year e.g 2010 and moved the pictures to the new folder "2010".

Where can I see a list of my shared folders?
It used to be that I could see my list of shared folders on the main page when signing in to Dropbox. I needed that to track what I have shared and to unshare when a project is complete.

I can't install the app, but need to keep the creation date while uploading files through the web.
I have an old iMac that I cannot install the Drop Box app as I cannot upgrade the Mac to a new enough iOS.
