Move Large File Back Into Dropbox

I accidently moved a 400 GB File Folder out of the company-wide Dropbox and onto my Desktop. I need to move the file folder back into Dropbox, but the computer won't let me because many different people have the file open at all times. 

 

Please help me to fix this issue.

    Hey thisismyusername925, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Did you give enough time to the desktop app to sync your changes until it shows 'up to date' in your system tray/menu bar or is it still syncing?

     

    Have you tried restoring the folder from your events page by any chance?

     

    Keep me posted!
