    <description>&lt;P&gt;Every Mac-beginner is strongly advised to make backups, preferably with Time Machine. So if you have a backup on your Time Machine, you can restore your Mac with it. This at least will bring back your desktop.&amp;nbsp;Whether or not it will bring back all your desktop files depends on how recently this backup was made.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;Please I need urgent help on this, I have mistakably done a backup of my Mac for Dropbox and I can't access my Desktop on my Mac anymore after doing this it says, "Desktop can't be opened because the original item can't be found"&amp;nbsp; I tried to disable backup from the Adjust settings but I get an error saying "Coulnd't stop backup because My mac was renamed, deleted or moved" besides, I checked the available documents of my desktop in the online backup available in the dropbox website and many is missing!! basically because my storage is full, now how can restore my whole desktop without any missing files??&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1563242"&gt;@israa_abuelezz&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for messaging the Community.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Could you clarify exactly how this happened? Did you enable the computer backup and allow it to complete, or were there any other actions taken in the Dropbox desktop application or on the machine before it was finished?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is the backup visible on the site on &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/backups" target="_blank"&gt;this page&lt;/A&gt;?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/330248"&gt;@Jay&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your reply. Fortunately, i restarted my Mac and i was able to see my Desktop files, now i want to stop backing up my folders to dropbox and remove the desktop application. I have signed out to stop syncing my files, but&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;I think my Mac folders (Desktop, Downloads, and Documents) are still linked to the dropbox folder as the path for the Desktop, for example,&amp;nbsp; is still under my dropbox folder (CDS dropbox) ( as shown in the "Desktop" info attached). And i believe it is still linked to dropbox as the original icon for desktop (e.g., the Desktop icon for a Mac laptop) is not restored, I still have the Desktop, Documents, and Downloads as folders (not as default Mac folder icons). How can i restore my Mac environment as it was before i set up the backup to dropbox? am I missing any additional&amp;nbsp;step?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Thanks,&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screen Shot 2022-08-08 at 3.28.11 PM.png" style="width: 401px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/30866iE6A9D4EAD9A40737/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screen Shot 2022-08-08 at 3.28.11 PM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2022-08-08 at 3.28.11 PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Since the Dropbox folder has a specific name, most likely you're part of a Dropbox Business team as well.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You'd need to disable the computer backup feature if it is still enabled by following &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/how-to-use-dropbox-backup#disable" target="_blank"&gt;these steps&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi there, &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1563242"&gt;@israa_abuelezz&lt;/a&gt;, let's try something. Can you follow these steps?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Click the Dropbox icon in your system tray.&lt;BR /&gt;Click your profile picture or initials.&lt;BR /&gt;Click on Preferences.&lt;BR /&gt;Click the Accounts tab.&lt;BR /&gt;Press the "alt+H" keys and at the same time, click the "Reset OS folder locations" button.&lt;BR /&gt;Click Continue to proceed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Keep me posted.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello there, I've followed this step by step guide as I was having the same issues. I've now followed the reseting of my desktop, download, and document folders back to my finder tab, but from there I've lost all folders and contents that were on my desktop, and have been left with a folder in each called 'My files in Dropbox' but nothing in any of the folders that are back in my finder tab.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any information would be hugely helpful!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1566165"&gt;@saambampton&lt;/a&gt;, I hope you're doing well!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When you disabled the feature, did you choose to "leave content in Dropbox"? Are you still able to see the content in your Dropbox folder?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If so, can you try to drag-and-drop those files from the Dropbox folder back to their original folders?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Keep me posted!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello Megan, I tried doing this yesterday, but kept getting greeted with this message -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screenshot 2022-08-18 at 10.35.39.png" style="width: 800px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/31121i4755BB23A13041C1/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot 2022-08-18 at 10.35.39.png" alt="Screenshot 2022-08-18 at 10.35.39.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now, whenever I try and move anything around on my desktop, or place things into folders it brings up another error code -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screenshot 2022-08-18 at 10.39.11.png" style="width: 800px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/31122i53A5DEE75DCA57EB/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot 2022-08-18 at 10.39.11.png" alt="Screenshot 2022-08-18 at 10.39.11.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm unsure on what to do now, as it would appear that anything that was stored in those folders is now "non-existant".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any help would be greatly appreciated!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a similar issue.My Mac crashed last week and I had to send it into Apple where they replaced basically the entire computer.I restored my computer from Time Machine and everything came up normally except for my downloads folder.A number of months back I inadvertently (like the previous person in this chat) enabled the back up feature for all my primary folders including downloads.After doing so I had similar problems that she had but I was able to back out of it and get it disabled (or so I thought).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So as far as I understood when I restored my machine from time machine I was not utilizing the backup feature of dropbox.But now my downloads folder says that it it is in an alias state.I can see that the folder exist in the dropbox folder when I go into my dropbox location but there is nothing I can do to fix this.I've been on the phone for several hours with Apple and everything they thought of would not work.It's obvious that this is related to the back up Application screen up my downloads folder and it was perhaps still trying to back it up (even though I thought I had it turned off).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did the above recommended solution and it had no effect.Whenever I try to open up my downloads folder I get the same error message .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The operation can't be&lt;BR /&gt;completed because the original&lt;BR /&gt;item for "Downloads" can't be&lt;BR /&gt;found.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;how do I fix this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Was finally able to get it to work.I think the above solution helped but the final solution was in a subsequent message that the above individual gave saying that I should just drag the folder back to its original location under my profile.After doing so it worked.Just a word of advice to everyone out there who has a Mac don't use the back up feature for your local documents.It can really screw things up.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've tried the Alt+H trick and it doesn't work anymore. It doesn't reveal the same options. Side note the Alt key on a PC is called the Option key on a Mac. The H key didn't do anything but, the option/alt key produced this result. Can you tell me what the current steps are to disable the dropbox from my Mac? It is making life extremely difficult.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="ALT+H.JPG" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/35984i85414EC0541FBEAB/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="ALT+H.JPG" alt="ALT+H.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1634457"&gt;@helpme5&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for posting here!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When it comes down to disabling your Backup, it might sound trivial, but have you tried rebooting your device?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you could also clarify the app's current &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/sync/check-sync-status" target="_blank"&gt;syncing status&lt;/A&gt;, that'd be amazing. One more thing: if you click "view errors" when trying to disable your Backup, what do you see?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Keep me posted!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
