I replaced some subfolders in a folder, but the subfolders are now empty.

Hi all,

I uploaded some folders into Dropbox and wanted to share them. The folder to share, consisting of subfolders, appeared too big for some one with a free account. So I replaced the subfolders and share them. Unfortunately the subfolders appeared to be empty after replacement.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and with KR, Leo.

    Hi from me too, lpvmc! Can you clarify how you replaced your subfolders exactly? 

    Which Dropbox platform did you use to do this?

    I have enough space and gave enough time. I added a number before the name: 0 name subfolder

    Forgot to mention: Before replacing them I renamed the subfolders. The renamed subfolders are empty.
