    Thanks for posting on the forum, speilee!

     

    Just a clarification; are you referring to the files currently uploaded to your Dropbox account here, or have you also enabled computer backup and you’d like to make sure your main computer folders (Desktop/Documents/Downloads) go back to their original locations first? 

     

    Let me know, and we’ll take it from there.

    I removed the Drop Box App but my files still appear to be on Dropbox.  When I look at the Documents folder I have recent files and then the DropBox Icon with 'Where are my files'.  How do I get ALL of my files back into the Documents folder?
