Impossible to access my files (documents, downloads and desktop) on Mac because of Dropbox sync

Dropbox StaffHi njet01, sorry to hear about that!
You mentioned you have a second Backup folder, that you can't get access to the content there. Can you let me know if you get any errors?
What about the message that the files belong to someone else? Can you send us a couple of screenshots, in order for us to have a visual here?
Keep me posted!
