I'm a long-time user of Dropbox via my employer's corporate account. I have recently opened an individual (3 TB) account to back up my personal files (mostly pictures and movies, some documents) on my Mac.
I saw that there is a relatively new feature (Dropbox Backup) through which I can back up folders without moving them to the root Dropbox folder (as explained here). I liked that I could keep the default Mac Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc., folders without moving them to the root Dropbox folder.
After syncing +2 TB worth of data I realized that I see those "backed-up" (not regular synced) folders not in my home dropbox.com page but rather in dropbox.com/backups. I also saw that those backed-up files do not show the regular syncing/synced icons in my Mac drive, nor the right-click functions. And dropbox.com/backups does not show any move or similar functions, it is very basic.
This is a dealbreaker for me. I'd rather move all the folders to the root folder and let them sync in the regular way, and be able to find them all together in dropbox.com. How can I do that without having to re-upload these folders to Dropbox? If I just move them in my Mac drive, Dropbox does not recognize them as already backed up and starts syncing them from scratch.
I could not find the answer in this community or elsewhere.
Thanks!
