Hi all....
So I've used Ubuntu since 12.04 and have been happy. I decided to try 18.04 and it looks OK....running it side by side with 16.04 for insurance ;-) I have one simple issue I can't figure out? I use dropbox for some of my files and in 16.04 all I needed to do to make a desktop link was to right-click on the dropbox file (spreadsheet for example) and select "Make Link" and then drag it to my desktop. That way I had easy access to often used files that are automatically backed up. So I tried this in 18.04 and I have no "Make Link" option and cannot see how I can make file links on the desktop. Seems like a pretty simple thing after 6 years using Ubuntu but it escapes me. Anyone have the solution? I did a forum search but came up empty handed.
Thanks
