Eclipse – Adding existing project folders to the project explorer in eclipse

eclipse

Probably a very straight forward solution here, but can't seem to find an answer. I recently changed my eclipse workspace to my dropbox folder, so I can work on my netbook when in college and on my desktop when at home. I copied and pasted all my project folders from the old workspace into the dropbox workspace, changed the workspace location in eclipse, but none of the projects are showing up in the project explorer now. Having refreshed the project explorer many times now to no avail, is there any way to add these projects into the project explorer? Thanks
