Dropbox Backup: Desktop and Desktop(1) ?

I don't know whether I'm posting this in the right place, but in my Dropbox Backup I have Desktop and Desktop(1). Is there a reason for that? If not, can I delete Desktop(1) and, if so, how? TIA...

    That's correct, to store all your files you had before, it would need more than 2 GB of quota. 

     

    From what you posted, you currently have 2 TB, since you're most likely on a Plus plan, so you should have enough quota currently to store them.

    Hey Judy12159, let's jump right into this! 

     

    Do you check online on your Backup page, when you see this? If you check locally inside your Dropbox folder do you see the same thing? 

     

    If so, are both of these folders identical when it comes to the content in them? 

     

    Keep me posted!

      Now I'm having a problem finding them. 🙃 Could you remind me how to get to my Backup page?

        Hi there and sorry to jump in here, but I wanted to mention that you can simply click on this link or navigate to your backups page manually from the dotted icon on your upper left corner Judy12159 

         

        I hope this helps!
