Dropbox StaffHi 00aime , thanks for bringing this to our attention.

One small clarification 00aime:
You mentioned that your "My Mac" folder inside your Dropbox folder, contains your "Downloads" folder.
Can you please clarify if you can access the Downloads folder it contains, make a copy of its contents, and then place it in the actual, original file-path in your Finder?
If you're getting an error, let me know!
