Hi Nancy. Thank you for jumping in. I have held off taking action today and did a bit more research.
1) it seems a "Advanced Reinstall" is in order from a url I read on the DropBox Community or how too. that also alerted that there may be conflicts to resolve.
2) if there are conflicts or if something goes wrong, i want to make a file directory with all the folders and subfolders expanded of my DropBox as it sits now in my Library/CloudStorage. the best way is to use Terminal on the Mac and I'm learning the correct script to do so.
Any of your thoughts and/or direction with specifics would be most appreciated. (As mentioned his is a massive amount of info, approximately 9GB. Although the folders moved around and renamed are only a portion of that, maybe half or more, they are the more critically important data that I use daily and need for a reliable archive.)
Thanks in advance. Shelley
