Dropbox is showing google drive folder on Mac
At some point in the last couple years, my Dropbox folder on my Mac started to display my Google Drive. At first I thought it was just a glitch, but on close inspection I see that there has been a conflation between the two, and somehow Dropbox has cloned a bunch of my Google drive documents. However there are folders I have only on Dropbox, and those no longer appear in my Dropbox folder on my Mac although I can still see them in Dropbox online. I've already tried removing and reinstalling the Dropbox app on my Mac.

Hey phakekta, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
When it comes to the first issues, can you please send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too?
As for the folders that you can't see on your computer, is it possible that you had selectively un-synced them from your device in the past?
Any additional information like the OS version of your computer, the app's version and current status etc. is more than welcome!
