Hi Dropbox Community,
I am able to access my Dropbox account through Dropbox.com but my Dropbox desktop app will not open. I attempted to uninstall and reinstall though I received this message. Can someone please advise?

During the install you're trying to activate the computer backup feature which requires key folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.) to be in their original location, and two of your folders aren't. If you don't need the backup feature, don't enable it during the installation. It's an option, not a requirement. You can always activate later if needed, and after you've moved those two folders back to their default location.
