    Okay, dropbox just tried syncing my folders and made them disappear from my mac. I could see them on the web but couldn't find them on my finder. here's the solution. from the top menu click on the dropbox icon, click on one of these folders' files that are syncing and your hidden folder appears on the dropbox folder on your mac. Copy the folder to your mac and stop syncing your home folders.
