They are shared folders that you removed from your Dropbox without removing your access. Such folders can be added back to your Dropbox from your Share page.
Hi,
I reinstalled Dropbox standard on a Win 10 PC. I selected to backup the Documents folder. I received a msg saying I did not have enough space and selected "Proceed anyway"
I now find that a folder containing sub folders and files is no longer on my machine, and is not in Dropbox.
I have searched the Dropbox events and my local recycle bin.
The folder is listed in the Dropbox "Shared folders", but marked as "Not added to Dropbox"
Can anyone help to locate and restore my files?

Dropbox StaffHey mikeyparr, I hope you're doing well today!
It sounds like you're referring to a shared folder, right?
If so, were you the owner of the folder or a member?
If I were you, I'd check to see if you have the option to add the folder back to your account.
Can you give this a go and let me know how it turns out?
