My Mac folder is only accessible online - can I move it back to my computer and sync it to Dropbox?
I inadvertently moved the Mymac folder into the dropbox folder. Now all my files seem to be in the cloud and only accessible when I'm online.
What I want is for the files to be on my computer and sync automatically to dropbox.
Wha should I do?

Thanks for posting this here, rbri!
When saying you moved your “My Mac” folder inside Dropbox, can you clarify how you did this exactly?
Did you drag anything within the local Dropbox folder or did you set up computer backup instead with these steps?
If the latter, you can no longer see your Mac folders neither in their original location on your computer nor within your Dropbox folder?
Finally, can you clarify the current syncing status of your Dropbox app? I want to make sure it's up to date, before taking any further actions.
Let me know, and we’ll go from there.
