Hi Walter,
Thank you for your response. Yes, I see two different Dropbox folders, on my C and my D drives. Recall that I moved it to the D drive. I can also add that the most updated version of Dropbox is on the C drive, which is in line with what I mentioned on my first post that ¨Dropbox folder location¨ shows C:\Users\Osiri\Dropbox as the location.
The first two Screenshots shows how “it looks at my end” as you are asking for. The first one shows an Explorer’s view of my C drive and the second an Explorer’s view of my D drive. The third and forth Screenshots shows app's exact status and the app's "Dropbox Preferences".
Thanks again for your help,
Osiris
