    Hey Shelladmin, welcome to the Dropbox Community!

    If I understand correctly, what's happened here is that you used our selective sync feature to only sync certain folders to your Dropbox folder.

    No worries, though, it's an easy thing to amend; you'll need to go through the steps in this article and your folders should sync to your computer.

    Let me know if that's not the case, or if you need anything else!

SOLVED - it was the "selective sync" feature and everything is good again

(all I needed was the correct language!)

Thanks Hannah!!
