Hi Jay and Megan,
Thanks for your help.
"earlier" was before I changed computer. I had the "Documents" folder (in Dropbox as iMac=>Documents) in the new computer with the transfer of the Dropbox folder, but the "Documents" folder was connected to the "Documents" folder in the old computer (not the new one), so I deleted the folder from Dropbox.
Do not believe that I have used the Backup feature.
Appreciate your help. It is perfect having both the Documents and Desktop folder in Dropbox. I really miss it.

There is no official way to move Documents into \Dropbox, unfortunately.
I'm on a Mac as well and all I've done is set all of the default save locations in programs to Dropbox instead which works really well.
