"My files on Dropbox" folder has all my documents in it?

I had a brief issue with synchronization, logged out and back into Dropbox per support and suddenly now, my Documents folder is nearly empty except for default folders for my applications and a folder called "my files on dropbox." Inside that directory is... all the stuff that should be in My Documents.

How do I fix this?? What even happened?

    Have you tried to drag and drop them back in to the other directory?

    That doesn't explain how they moved and I would be concerned that they're just going to go right back where they were?
