Hi Jon C.10, let's jump right into this! 

 

In order to continue using your Mac, and have it not sync this accidental move from the app to the account online you'd have to follow a few steps: 

 

You'd need to quit your app, uninstall it, then delete the Dropbox folder with its content, and then re-install and allow for it to sync everything from scratch. 

 

If you have a lot of content, this might not be ideal so another thing that you could do is allow for the move to happen, and then contact Support, and ask them to restore it back to how it was before it, provided that you have issues moving the content back to their original paths on your end.

 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate.
