Multiple Dropbox/Documents folders on Windows 11

Multiple Dropbox/Documents folders on Windows 11

Helpful | Level 6

Windows 11 PC.

1) All my documents are in a folder named DOCUMENTS.

2) The next folder underneath the above folder is Downloads.

3) Immediately underneath the Downloads folder is a folder named DROPBOX--contains all the documents in the DOCUMENTS folder referred to in (1), above.

4)  Next folders in order are: Music, Videos, Videos, Desktop, Network, Recycle Bin and ANOTHER DROPBOX folder containing all of the same documents!

 

So, in sum, I have THREE folders named DOCUMENTS, DROPBOX & DROPBOX--all containing all my documents and I have TWO folders called VIDEOS. 

Please explain in plain simple language how to fix this!

 

WTF are labels?  I'll just take a guess!!

HI @HollisHoHo,

The most simple way is to turn Dropbox Backup you have selected off. Don't use such extra features since there are lots of imperfections (not to say bugs).

Good luck.
