Hi Jay,
Thank you for your comment. I can't do what you suggested, because as I mentioned, I do not have DropBox desktop application on my Mac. it's not installed on my Mac. So there's any way I can disable DropBox application on my computer.

Dropbox Community ModeratorAre you able to restore the default location of those folders from within Finder or the Mac OS settings?
I don't think so.. I tried several things, but the strange thing is that the folders' original location is shown under DropBox folder, but if I enter the folder, there's none of those folder.
I even tried Terminal to change the directory path, but for some reasons, permissions are denied, etc. and there are so many errors without any success. I successfully changed the location of the download folder and I can't move it back to the original main folder either.

If you don't have the Dropbox desktop application installed, there isn't much I can suggest. In the app, you'd have the option to disable Dropbox Backup, and the folders would return to the default location.
