Thanks for your swift reply, @coxchandler1.  When you uninstall the desktop app, the Dropbox folder becomes like any other folder on your computer, but continues to exist on your hard drive.  For this reason, could you confirm if you've deleted that folder when you unlinked? Keep me posted! ... View more

Thanks for confirming that, @MLGSupernoob.  Have you also by any chance checked your bandwidth settings on your desktop app and changed them to improve the sync speed?  ... View more

Thanks for getting back to me, @rastaman3.  The events page on the website shows you activity and changes that happened to content in your Dropbox account. Since it sounds like the changes haven't synced across from the computer that you made the changes on, could you check what the Dropbox icon that's next to that computer's clock shows when you hover over it? Also, just to make sure that we cover most initial bases, is the desktop app installed on your work computer signed in to the same Dropbox account as the one in your other device? You can cross-check this by having a look at the email address associated with each platform: Website - your General tab in your Settings. Desktop app - Dropbox icon > avatar icon > Preferences > Account tab. Let me know what you find! ... View more

Thanks for getting back to me, @MLGSupernoob.  Out of curiosity, have you seen any progress with the number of files syncing in the meantime, or is it still stuck at 142? ... View more

Hey @MBVIP, thanks for reaching out to us! One option is to copy-paste the folder into another location from your Dropbox folder, which means that any changes you make to one won't be reflected to the other.  The other option is to symlink the folder, however, I'd recommend checking this article out to find out more info on it.  Hope this helps! ...

Hi @coxchandler1, thanks for checking in with us on the Dropbox Community! I'd be more than happy to help, I'll just need a bit more info. For example: Could you clarify if you unlinked your account from the desktop app and deleted the Dropbox folder, or if you deleted your Dropbox account?  Could you also send me a screenshot (without any personal info) of the space discrepancy and what your Dropbox icon shows when you hover over it? Any additional details would be very helpful. Cheers! ... View more

Hi there @MercedesL, thanks for checking in with us and sorry to hear about the frustration this experience has caused.  To gain access to the Dropbox account that was part of the team and contained all your files, you'll have to ask the admin to recover the deleted account.  From there, since you don't want to be a part of the team, instead of deleting your account, they'll have to convert you to an individual account.  Once they do this, you won't be a part of the team and you'll be able to upgrade to a Plus subscription like before.  If they want to add you to any folders in the team, they can check out more info on how to do so in this article.  Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions! ...
