Drop Box is not saving InDesign files!

My InDesign files download as a weird text file. ALL OF THEM. Has Drop Box lost all my InDesign files?? I tried going to earlier versions but they don't exisit. Here's what I get instead of my files:...
Download
File access
Sync

    Luckily, the solution to my problem was very easy. When Drop Box downloads the InDesign file it adds a .TXT to the file name. Don't know why. All I had to do was delete the ".txt" on the file name and it became a perfect InDesign file. Thank you to the pepole who replied!!

You need to download what will look like the folder from the area you saved them in (InDesign is actually a package of files saved which Macs turn in to a file - everybody else sees it as lots of files though).

When you download this file you may need to rename the .zip to whatever extension InDesign has.
