Thanks. Yes, I have realized that this is the most likely way forward. For now, I am trying to use Rewind to rewind the contents of the previous Backup folder, which is still showing in the Dropbox but now as a regular Dropbox folder. So far it seems promising, but it will probably take some time to rewind 175 GB. I will report back further. Then it will be just another Dropbox folder, as you suggest.

Dropbox Rewind has concluded, and appears to be a satisfactory solution in this circumstance. I do think there should be a better migration for customers in this scenario, but I hope my experience will help others.
