Installed new WD Smartware and can't get files

the hard drive doesnt show up in the disk drive anymore. How do I get my files?. I downloaded the new update and it forces me to make an dropbox account to store files. I made an account even though I didnt want to and it says it is only a free version for 30 days. I dont want to store my files on dropbox, I just want to store my files like it did before like a USB does. Please advise!

Nevermind I figured out the problem
