What happens to folders I move around on the Dropbox website?
Title, but, more context: I have files selective synced on my desktop and set to available in offline mode. On the website, suppose I move a Folder A into Folder B, when folder A was one of the synced folders on my desktop. What happens to folder A as it relates to the syncing on my desktop? Will I suddenly and automatically see Folder B also become available on my hard drive since folder A is now a part of it (ie it is now a nested folder and would need to see folder B to access folder A)?
Hope this makes sense. I just don't want to radically mess up synced folders by moving them around on the site.

Hi there sixfootewok - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Friday!
Can you please clarify if you're referring to folders that you've selectively un-synced via the app's preferences through the selective sync feature or if this is about folders that are available offline/online only on your computer instead?
Note that you can try it with a small, sample folder as an example to see how it goes, but please keep us posted and we'll take it from there.
Thanks!
