Creation of a "Mobile Uploads" folder
We have an instance of Dropbox which is used by multiple people within our private organization. We each have our own personal instances of Dropbox and have been given permission to certain folders ...
Just for your information, version history isn't available on folders, but files. If you had a file in the Mobile Uploads folder, the version history would show from which device the file was uploaded.
Without knowing where it originated from, it wouldn't be possible to tell, however, given the name, most likely a file was uploaded via the Dropbox mobile app and this folder was created.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi ClarkP, thanks for clarifying!
It's indeed interesting that the change only happened on your end. If another member of the shared folder did it, it would also appear that way for them too. Can you follow the steps mentioned here, in order to check the Activity, or Events of the folder, and see what happened?
Your events page will also be helpful. The Events page at www.dropbox.com/events gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes), as well as adding or removing shared folders.
Also, have you tried moving the folder back, to the path that you want it to be outside of your mobile uploads?
One other response. The "here" link led me to this text:
View version history of a file
To view the version history of a file:
- Sign in to dropbox.com.
- Hover over the file or folder you’d like to view the version history of.
- Click “…” (ellipsis).
- Hover over Activity.
- Click Version history.
When I click on the ellipsis, I get the following display for "FolderX". Note that "Version history" isn't one of the options.:
