Dropbox Community ModeratorHi CrewSandy1, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you clarify exactly what you're seeing in the Dropbox folder?
Is it only those two folders that can't be accessed?
This will help me to assist further!
Jay,
Thanks for getting involved in solving my problem. My terminology is probably incorrect, but I think Dropbox can collect saved files directly at Dropbox. In addition, I can set up sub folders under Dropbox into which I can save files. In my case, my pincipal subfolders are Documents and Photos. My current situation is that the main Dropbox location opens properly along with all the files saved at that location, but my sub files of Documents and Photos are absent. Strangely, a couple of minor subfiles under Dropbox appear and seem to operate properly. But the ones where I have all my important stuff are missing. On other of our computers, this porblem does not exist, so it is isolated to this specific machine.
Many thanks for the help,

I'm still not sure what you're referring to exactly. Do you mean to say that certain folders are in the Dropbox folder, when they shouldn't be there?
Do you have Dropbox Backup enabled, which moves the Desktop , Documents and Downloads folders into your Dropbox folder?
