How to UNHIDE folders? Accidental mistake
I accidentally hid my folders.
I was trying for folders to update and I accidentally selected all these folders to be hidden on my PC from the dropbox SYNC settings.
I dont know how to bring em back.
Thanks!

Are you referring to Selective Sync? If so, you didn't hide the folders; you removed them from your local drive. Don't worry though, as the folders will still be in your account online. Just go back into the Selective Sync settings and check the folders again. Give it time to sync and it will download all the folders back to your local drive. If they're large or you have a lot of folders it will take time, so be patient.

Hi Rich,
I am unable to see the removed folders on my Dropbox app on my mac. Is there another setting i can access select the removed folders online?
I am currently going to Preferences > Sync > Select folders

I'm not sure what you mean. If you've removed folders from your computer using Selective Sync, then they won't be on your computer anymore. Or are you saying that the folders are no longer listed when you open the Selective Sync settings?
That window shows all of the folders in your account. If you don't see a folder listed, it's not in your account online (under normal circumstances). Are you saying that you've verified that a folder is in your account online but not visible in the Selective Sync window?
