How to move my main folder back to the Dropbox folder
Hello, for some reason I suddenly find my main Folder (MERCE) in the Backup Folder, instead of being located as before inside Dropbox.
C:\users\***\dropbox\MERCE (before it was like this), see below. It appears inside My PC (***).
I use Windows 10
I don't know how I should move the main folder MERCE into the DROPBOX location, and outside the Dropbox Backup, or if I could do a copy and move it to DROPBOX location.
This error produces that when accessing from another computer via dropbox online version, sometimes I cannot edit, download, move etc. because of course it's not in the right place.
Now:
Thank you for helping me!

Hey there, MPM, thanks for posting here today!
Can you clarify what the path is for your Dropbox folder, when accessing your app's preferences?
Do you get any errors when trying to move the folder, outside of your Backup?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
Hi Megan
Thank you for your support.
Please see here the path in preferences and down where my folders are now (in the Backup under MyPC (MerceAcer)
I did try some weeks ago to move my main folder MERCE intro dropbox but after a while a message popped up saying something I cannot remember.
I did not dare to try again, but I will try again and let you know.
Below the path:
Thank you for helping me.

Hi MPM, thanks for the screenshots!
So, on the first screenshot you can see the path of your Dropbox folder, where it is located inside your computer.
On the second screenshot, it looks like we're referring to your Computer Backup, and the name of the actual device, hence you see the name there.
If you wish, you can disable Backup, and just keep a copy of the content, inside your Dropbox folder instead.
