Dropbox totally whacked out my computer the last three days. 

 

I have three sets of Desktop/Documents/Download folders now. Under my profile, in and two in Cloud Services, one of them amended with a timestamp. They all have different files in them. The ones in Cloud Services sync. But only the ones under my home/profile folder are part of Dropbox "Backup"

 

I've definitely lost some files in this mess. Woof.
