Desktop is in dropbox (Bureaublad zit in dropbox)

Ik heb een aantal mappen van een stick gekopieerd en dan geplakt op mijn bureaublad. Nu staat mijn bureaublad in de Dropbox en zie ik die niet in verkenner. Hoe krijg ik mijn bureaublad uit mijn Dropbox?

I copied a number of folders from a stick and then pasted them on my desktop. Now my desktop is in the Dropbox and I don't see it in explorer. How do I get my desktop out of my Dropbox?

    Thanks for your post, Queeny001!

     

    After reading it, I understand that computer backup was enabled on your Dropbox app and it caused your Desktop folder to be moved over to your Dropbox account. 

     

    However, in order to double check this, can you please go here, and send me a screenshot of what you see on that page?

     

    Let me know when you’re ready.
