I can't locate the Dropbox folder on my Linux device.

About two hours ago i posted a question to the forum.  I got several replies and while responding managed to sign out.  Now I cannot find my post.  Is there some way that I can search for my posts?  ...

    Aha, I still have no where my first post went but I solved the "dropbox folder" problem.   I was misreading a Dropbox warning message about the number of devices I had connected. Apparently I had too many devices connected—old computers—and once I dropped a couple my desktop folder appeared.

 Did you click the link to take you to the post?

Yes.  It, also, appears in my profile.

 

As you and Walter say, I only see the one post.  Is there any way I could have deleted that post without leaving any trace.

Hey jrkrideau, let me also jump in here! 

 

That could be possible. As for your Dropbox folder: what happens if you click the Dropbox icon on your desktop? 

 

Does it re-direct you to your Dropbox folder by any chance? Have you tried uninstalling and then re-installing the app?
