Documents folder on Mac is missing, replaced by Dropbox link
Hi I was looking for my documents on my mac desktop and it has somehow now been linked directly to Dropbox, not my documents on my desktop mac. I cannot find any of my documents that were on my computer. In checking dropbox.com, some of the documents / folder are in Backup on dropbox for my previous Mac, but I need to stop Dropbox taking over my document folder on my current mac, and get back the docs that were happily there just a week ago. Any suggestions? thanks Jon
"Adjust Bandwidth limits" button in the Dropbox Backup menu [Advanced Settings] does not work.
My Dropbox Backup process has started, and is painfully slow. 8 hours and it hasn't uploaded 150 GB yet. So, I want to increase the upload bandwidth - however, the menu where these settings are found will not open. I click the button, and nothing happens. Does anyone have a solution?

I chose to back up my Photos folder but the parent folder seems to be getting backed up too
Hello, So I created a backup which seems to be working find except it also keeps backing up newly created files in the parent directory. What I want to Backup: F:\Photos What it backs up: F:\Photos F:\ Any new files that are created in F:\ (after the creation date of my backup) are also being backed up. It does not backup existing files in F:\, which it shouldn't. But it does backup newly created files in F:\, which it should't. It should only backupF:\Photos. Which is the folder that I selected in my backup. Any idea what's going on?
My laptop doesn't show up in my connected devices list, even though it's syncing files
Having trouble with dropbox not seeing a device. As in, if you go to settings and then click Security - you scroll down and it shows your device list and the devices that have been removed from list. Details: -- I can have 3 active devices, presently shows only 2 listed -- Have ended all dropbox tasks multiple times, have restarted laptop -- Have quit dropbox in taskbar tray -- Have reinstalled dropbox multiple times -- I know dropbox is working with this particular laptop bc I've created "test" documents and saved them on laptop local dropbox file explorer - which then sync up to online files immediately Because dropbox isn't seeing this laptop, I can't use backups. When I try to created a backup, it shows my old PC as the only option for the backup -- I can't choose my laptop bc it doesn't see it. Any ideas?
