Hi everyone, sorry for the silly question. I've changed my computer and in the new one I have a new structure of my folders, while on Dropbox's server there still is the old structure. I didn't link new computer to my Dropbox on the server. In the meantime I saved several files on my new computer: what if I'd sync now? I want to maintain the new files (the ones on the computer), not the ones on the server. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey Bye Bike T., let's have a look into this together!
Can you let me know what you mean when you say you didn't link your new computer to your Dropbox account on the server? Do you use the desktop app on the new device or not?
When you visit your Dropbox account online, do you see the content you had on your old device? Is everything synced?
Let me know more!
