First, check if Dropbox is still installed by searching for it on your computer. If it’s not there, you can reinstall it from the Dropbox website. After that, check if your Dropbox folder is intact by navigating to it manually, usually found in your user folder (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\Dropbox).
Next, go into OneDrive and stop the backup from syncing your Dropbox folder. You can manage this through OneDrive’s settings by selecting which folders to stop backing up. After that, move any files mistakenly synced by OneDrive back into your Dropbox folder.
