      Thanks for clarifying that! When you have access to your device again, I’d also like to know the Dropbox folder location that you see under the Sync tab of your app preferences.

       

      Otherwise, we could risk deleting the wrong folder, which would also affect your Dropbox files online.

    Thanks for your post, AA071.

     

    Can you send me a screenshot of the two Dropbox folders you see on your computer (along with their location)? If there’s any personal info showing, like your username for example, feel free to hide that one.

     

    Other than that, I’d like a screenshot of what you see under your desktop app preferences > Sync tab to double check which Dropbox folder is currently syncing to your web account. 

     

    Ping me when you’re ready.
