Dropbox changed location, now lots of "conflicted copies".
A couple of days ago Dropbox updated itself by moving my Dropbox files to ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox.

Before this, everything was running smoothly and my Dropbox files…

Displaying all non-synced folders along with synced folders
I would like to view all my desktop folders, even those that are not synced in dropbox. I know this is possible, because my previous Mac allowed this, and the "online only" folders were indicated as such. My new Mac is showing only those selectively synched. How do we display all the folders, including un-synced? Thank you.
