Duplicate Dropbox locations after update

Thanks everybody, really appreciate the help.

Not a problem! 

Let us know if you run into any other issues or need any help.

Have a wonderful week ahead and see you around the Community! 🙂

I have a similar problem but hidden simlinks is not the issue. Background first: For about a week, I was getting this message:

Files are still opened in D:\Dropbox (Babcock)\Dropbox (Babcock)

Some Dropbox files are being used by other applications:

• Process: (8812) Windows Explorer

Files or folders in use <snip>

My Dropbox was no longer syncing and with the above, I could no longer "start" Dropbox to pause or resume syncing or anything else that I formerly could do by right clicking. I emailed my admin but never got a response (this is a private family, not a big company), presumably because he didn't know what was happening. I figured it had something to do with an update so started Googling and realized I was going to have to uninstall/reinstall. Did that, and it started syncing.

I shortly realized that the folder name/location was being changed so I paused, and copied all my folder/files into the new location to (hopefully) speed up the sync process. Eventually, I got asked if the files in "Websites" should be copied and I chose the default Team. Websites is a folder that Admin has that is shared with me, versus one of my own folders. BTW, I've never done a "personal" folder as I don't really understand the difference.

My files are on my D drive. Here are my folders:

Dropbox (Babcock)
-----Babcock Dropbox
----------This is where all my folders/files are ending up now PLUS
----------Kathryn Bassett
---------------Another set of the files/folders that are in Babcock Dropbox
-----Dropbox (Babcock)
----------This is where I had things before I had problems

As I write this, it's still syncing with an estimated 2 days to run, presumably syncing that second set of files in Dropbox (Babcock)\Babcock Dropbox\Kathryn Bassett

I can live with the change from Dropbox (Babcock) to Babcock Dropbox but prefer to keep everything as Dropbox (Babcock)\Dropbox (Babcock) so I don't have to hunt down all the places I have referred to that structure.

I DO have all my files/folders set to "show hidden files", but when checking the properties of each, none of the Dropbox folders have hidden checked.

Switching from computer to online, when I'm Home, I see:

Kathryn Bassett

Folder A

Folder B ... etc, all on the same level.

Folder A, B etc are all my folders. Some are me only, some are folders I've shared with another person. Example, I have one called AE-Docs which is shared with my friend Arlene. Both of us can Add/Delete/Edit. I'm the one who set up the folder to share.

I also see a Documents folder that belongs to my admin, that has just some of her subfolders that I selectively sync. If I desired, I could sync all of the contents of her Documents folder, but I don't need all of them, just a couple. Websites, referred to above, is another of her folders. I should be seeing that (I used to) but can no longer see it.

I'm afraid to move things around since I don't know what's correct, what can be deleted, etc. With all this duplication, I don't want to run out of room on my hard drive. It's a 2TB drive, but there's only .5TB left and it's still syncing that duplicate. With the original and the two duplicates, I now have 3 copies of everything.

BTW, I've looked at
https://help.dropbox.com/teams-admins/team-member/team-space-overview but it seems to be written from the admin point of view versus a team member point of view.
