How to move a folder back to the top level

I had a top level folder named "Genealogy" with many subfolders that somehow, was accidently moved as a subfolder of "Camera Uploads". I would like to move Genealogy back as a top level folder, but even after reading through how to move a folder (https://help.dropbox.com/installs/move-dropbox-folder) I'm not able to determine how to move Genealogy up to the top level.

    The solution was to move my folder "Genealogy" to the "Dropbox" folder.

    Hi bdweisel, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    That article you posted is related to moving the entire Dropbox folder to another location, and isn't relevant to your situation.

     

    This article tells you on how to move files and folders within your account.

     

    Keep me updated with any progress!
