Deleted files from Dropbox were also deleted from my PC
Dear all,
I would like to ask for an advice how to proceed further.
A few days ago, I signed up in Dropbox – web version. When setting up my account, I must have left the default ticks to...
Thanks for getting back to us here NoviceToDb!
If you previously uninstalled the desktop app, or have since disabled the backup feature with the steps Jay mentioned above, then the backup should no longer be syncing those folders to your Dropbox account.
However, the error that you're getting there for the Downloads folder may be due to deleting the folder without correctly disabling the backup feature. It's a little unexpected that the file path wouldn't revert back automatically.
To restore the default folder path for your Downloads folder, you can right click the folder and choose "Properties", and from there choose "Restore Default".
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks you so much Rich.
It worked, however, My PC and Desktop folders are still in Dropbox.
Is there a way to get them out of there?
Thanks for your help.
Hello Rich, again,
It seems like it wasn't working. Then I went back under Preferences, then I clicked on Sync and then on Selective Synch and noticed My PC was checked. So I unchecked it. I hope that was it. Have no idea why all of my stuff literally went into Dropbox.
Thanks for the help
My problem is still not solved.
All the Folders, including my My PC is still inside of Dropbox and I am not able to move them out.
If I attempt to move them, I get a warning message that everything will be completely deleted.
What kind of B.S. is that.
Dropbox is pretty much holding all my Files and Folders hostage.
Can anyone please tell me what to do?
Thanks
