    Okay, so it looks like you've already disabled the computer backup. Could you follow these steps to restore the default location of the folders?

HOW does one "...first try disabling the computer backup from Dropbox."   I have yet to find this information here or elsewhere.  When I uninstall Dropbox, it automatically removes my Downloads folder!   Not good at all!

 

Thank you.

    I, like hundreds of other people, am experiencing the SAME SITUATION with the Windows "Can't redirect into reparse point, please choose different target path" error.  This is DISGRACEFUL on Dropbox's part that the don't have a solution to fix this and are obviously trying to IGNORE it.  I am so sorry I waster my money on such a lousy company.

     

    If any of you have had this condition fixed, please let the rest of us know how you did it.

     

    Thank you very much,
