I'm back home. Thankfully, the Dropbox location WAS backed up in Time Machine, and I was able to restore my entire Dropbox as of last night, to a separate location.

Hi ilya1, I’m really sorry to hear about this.
Can you please clarify what’s the syncing status of your Dropbox app at the moment?
Also, if you can provide some more details on what’s happening exactly, that’d be great. For example, have you checked the Library of your Mac device? Do you see any of your Dropbox files there perhaps?
Thanks in advance!
