I logged in after awhile and dropbox forced me (why??) to create a team on dropbox business trial plan and it tried to sync my desktop and document folders to dropbox. I canceled the business plan in the middle of the process and now my desktop, document and downloads folders are missing from my computer and they aren't anywhere (even in deleted files section on dropbox). In my folders they be shown like this and when I want to open them the error pops up "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Desktop" can't be found.

Okay, dropbox just tried syncing my folders and made them disappear from my mac. I could see them on the web but couldn't find them on my finder. here's the solution. from the top menu click on the dropbox icon, click on one of these folders' files that are syncing and your hidden folder appears on the dropbox folder on your mac. Copy the folder to your mac and stop syncing your home folders.
