Lost access to Desktop folder on Mac when I downloaded Dropbox, and now can't access.
I've lost access to the Desktop, Documents and Downloads file on my mac - help??
I just set up a new Dropbox account with a different email. When it asked whether I wanted to sync/back-up Desk...
Just found this post, I am having similar issue couple days ago.
I completely freaked out when I saw all my files on Mac desktop vanishing during the installation process!
Could anyone advise me how to connect with support engineer directly? Thanks!
Sorry for reposting, but I canât find my previous reply.
Sadly, I've received no response back from DropBox on my original ticket. I believe my ticket was closed with no resolution on their part. I also don't have tons of time to sit around and troubleshoot. I still do not have access to my Downloads and Document folders. At least the new Sonoma update gave me back Desktop control.
I feel hijacked by DropBox. To roll out an intrusive updates that hijacks folders without necessary rollback, and to then be nonchalant about the fix, is unexcusable.
Thanks, Nancy.

Hi BryanmMac, thanks for the info!
I was able to locate the ticket number, and it seems the Specialist responded back to you; asking for more info, but the ticket was automatically closed since you didn't respond back.
Were you able to check his reply, and provide the necessary info?
- Hey Megan,
Have you taken note that this problem continues to utterly infuriate your customers and it is still going on after all of this time? I am holding off on upgrading the tool now because I know I cannot trust your company to not screw up my machine and my access to my own data. The longer this goes on, the bigger the risk it is to Dropbox to lose a substantial volume of customers. This is completely unacceptable for user experience, and totally unbecoming of a company that aspires to grow. I replied back and received no response. I need someone to get on a call with me and fix the issue. I am exhausted at trying one-off solutions. The software "broke" my OS. I need someone not named me to fix it. I will gladly accept a stipend from DropBox for my problem-solving faulty software. I mean, please help!

BryanmMac, Iâm afraid our specialists canât be contacted via phone at the moment, only via email.
Can you please try to reply back to their latest email once more, and let me know what happens? if it goes well, you should receive a new ticket number.
If you face trouble again though, let me know, and Iâll try to assist further with this.
Thanks!
It's really frustrating to hear that. The standard responses and slow response times in the Community just add to our frustration.
If you are a paid account, shouldn't you have access to email support and live chat support?
