Moving My Documents *OUT* of dropbox
The "My Documents" folder under my username on a Windows 7 machine appears to have disappeared and been subsumed by dropbox. This is a big problem for me as I never store documents in "My Documents"...
...there's no other application I can think of that would automatically move the My Documents folder to dropbox.
As I've said, Dropbox has no functionality to do this.
However, you're quite welcome to open a support ticket and have Dropbox Support verify the fact of the matter.

I can find no instructions anywhere to move My Documents back to it's original location...
I'm afraid it's a bit beyond the scope of this forum, but maybe this might provide a starting point:

Sorry that I can't be of more help in this instance.

Super User alumniDropbox did not move your My Documents folder.
If you don't want it in there, just drag it back out.
