Hi Garryx, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Hi from me as well, Garryx!
The “PC” folder that you mention should contain your backed up folders.
Is it possible that “Akai” was the name of your previous device that had been backed up?
- Garryx2 years agoExplorer | Level 3Yes, it is a device that no longer exists. Supposedly I can log in to drop box, select that device, and log it out. Problem is it is not in my list of devices, cannot log it out, cannot delete the backup.
Dropbox solution is to pay them to report their bug.
