Backup shows up in Dropbox instead of Dropbox Backups

[Max_Emr]

Hey Community.

When I did set up Dropbox on my Mac last year, I chose to backup my Documents, Downloads, Desktop, and Photos into Dropbox.

I also choose to sync an external  Harddrive with additional pictures with the Backup.

I Haven't looked at the files online since and just saw that everything backup up successfully. 

Last week I checked the online viewer for the first time and discovered the following.

My Harddrive shows up successfully in Backups and works fine.

My Mac folders show up in my normal Dropbox. I can't find an option to stop the synchronization. 

The file path of my folders now is: /Users/maxemrich/Dropbox/Mac (2)/Downloads

When I try to add my Mac to the Dropboxbackups, it says It can't find the Downloads, Desktop, and Picture and Documents Folder.

Is there any good way to fix that and add the Mac to backups?

Hey @Max_Emr, thanks for joining our Community!

Are you having any issues with your computer backup, other than the fact that it's visible in your main Dropbox? 

Do you see that it's correctly enabled if you check the 'backups' in your Dropbox application preferences?

Keep me posted.

No I don't see it in my backups. That's why im so confused

Thanks for the update, Max. 

Would you mind sending me a couple of screenshots, showing how your backup does appear for you, so that we can check it out?
