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 no location tab. I have uninstalled your program yet there are remnants of its existence. What do I need to do to restore my pc and eliminate any traces dropbox ever existed.
I get the same error for can't redirect into resparse point, chose a different path. Windows knows the original and your software is blocking it.
need a fix
Having the same problem here. This is kind of ridiculous and will definitely not be using dropbox ever again. This should not be such an issue.
Edit: I figured it a workaround that will placate some of us that had this issue.After going to the "location" in the "documents property"---you can just create a new location with a small change such as C:\Users\(your user name)\Documents1 and or however you want to rename a new folder to create...move items and then you now have that silly dropbox link gone. How invasive of dropbox without an easy out. Still do not plan to use dropbox out of frustration.
