I cant download files...mac says insufficient permission

Thanks for posting on our Community, judysweeney, and welcome!

It sounds like you've enabled computer backup on your desktop app.

Can you please clarify one thing for me, before we look into this further? You mention that you're having a permissions issue when trying to download these folders from Dropbox. 

What steps are you following exactly to do this? Can you please describe them to me, so that I may suggest something else? 

Let me know when you're ready.

It seems I inadvertently deletd drop box and my desktop, documents and dounloads folder. very bad.

I see them on dropbox online but when i click to download they say insufficient pasmission

i believe something is messed up on my imac that wont let me download my files.

Hey judysweeney, sorry to jump in here, but could you send us a screenshot of the errors you get so that we can have a visual too?
