I don't have a lot of experience in Win 10, although I have my Home box a Win 10.  But sometimes, adding an existing favorite will reinitialize the favorite listed.  So, go to your Dropbox folder (on D:) and make a favorite, put it close to the other one.  See if it replaces it. or maybe it wouldn't but according to this Article.  It will tell you how to add and even remove the favorite.  The article also shows other tricks.  See if this pertains to you.

 

Hopes this helps

Thank you but that article seem to be for windows 7, I don't have a favorite folder at all.
