You can reset the file path for these folders with the steps below:
- Navigate to the system's Desktop/Downloads/Documents folders via the File Explorer (not the folders in Dropbox).
- Right click the folder and choose "Properties".
- Go to the "Location" tab.
- Choose to reset the default folder path.
If you're having trouble locating these folders, they would be under the path C:/users/[your username]/
If you have any trouble with these steps then please let me know the exact step that you're running into issues. You can send along a screenshot too if relevant.
There is the word "Location" but not tab with Location. The word is not clickable. What now?

Dropbox Community ModeratorIn that case, could you click on the 'Advanced' button and then navigate to the 'Location' tab ryanjames?
It should be the 4th tab from left to right.
Still not seeing what you think I should be seeing. This is the properties and then the second box is what comes up after the ADVANCED box. What am I missing?

You'll need to look through the Desktop, Downloads, and Document folders to try and reset the paths.
Give it one more try and let us know how it goes, thanks! I solved the problem by reformatting the hard drive. No more issues. An extreme measure, but the only solution that worked.
