    I’ve got the same problem. Dropbox sent me an update. I had to do a back up and they screwed it all up now. I can’t look at my back up Desktop on the IPhone Mac due to a file change now called back ups. Dropbox pull this number on me at midnight on a Saturday. I was tired now that the backup took a long time. They totally screwed this up shame on Dropbox you ruined the product and I’m gonna have to go to elsewhere or do something else. How do I get the file called Dropbox/backup/Mac to show up on my Dropbox iPhone app it doesn’t the product is useless
