Dropbox StaffThanks for joining us here WhitBradley10!
Did you possibly choose another location for the Dropbox folder to be placed either during the setup of the desktop app, or through the app preferences?
If you're not sure, can you follow the steps below and let me know what file path you see for the Dropbox folder's location?
- Click the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.
- Click the profile pic/initials icon in the top right of the window.
- Choose "Preferences..."
- Go to the Sync tab.
Please feel free to send over any screenshots too, excluding any personal info.
Let me know what you find!
