Hi there aakhmetz, thanks for reaching out to us about this.
As a first step, could you send me a screenshot (without any personal info) of what you see when you click on the Open folders in option from your General tab in your desktop app's Preferences?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Thanks for the screenshots, aakhmetz!
Out of curiosity, could you let me know if the desktop app or your Finder opens when you follow the steps below?
- Click on the Dropbox icon next to your computer's clock.
- Select the folder icon that appears on the top of the menu.
Let me know how it goes, thanks!
