Backup error "Make sure Dropbox and your documents folder are in the default location and try again"
I’m trying to set up my computer to back up to Dropbox, but it won’t back up my documents because it says “Make sure Dropbox and your documents folder are in the default location and try again.”

Hi Megan,
thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in mine. I went and got the location info and realized – and am now feeling pretty stupid – that my Documents folder is already syncing into the Dropbox cloud. Ie. its location is already in my Dropbox folder. I had forgotten this.
Thus, the backup is not necessary, as the contents are actually already stored in my Dropbox, right?
However, can you quickly remind me about where I can possibly change these sync settings and return the Documents folder to its default location on my Mac SSD?
