    Hi Hannah,

    I ended up logging out and uninstalling dropbox.

    I confirmed the team folder was still in the correct directory in the web browser.

    Deleted the team folder on my laptop.

    Then reinstalled and logged into dropbox again.

    Sync restored everything as seen in web browser.

Hey Jeremy11111, I'd be happy to help! 

 

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you moved a team folder, into your personal folder in a Business team, right? 

 

If you visit your account online, is the move complete? I'm only asking because Team folders can’t be moved into personal folders. However you can copy a team folder and paste it in your personal folder.

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
