Hi simonebecca, thanks for messaging the Community!
Did you recently join a Dropbox team, or did you move the folder into the different folder you're referring to?
Any other info or screenshots, while hiding any private names or details, would be helpful!

Can you try moving the folder back on the Dropbox site directly instead of via Explorer?
