Well, that was ugly. I deleted dropbox, and then deleted the dropbox folder. I reinstalled, and it didn't seem to be working correctly - so I deleted again, and went into task manager and closed all the dropbox jobs. I reinstalled. Downloaded - but it's the wrong data in the dropbox folder. Just two folders, and should be MANY more.

I'm going to bed. Ugggg...
