    First, check if Dropbox is still installed by searching for it on your computer. If it’s not there, you can reinstall it from the Dropbox website. After that, check if your Dropbox folder is intact by navigating to it manually, usually found in your user folder (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\Dropbox).
