file paths for unsynced files that were saved elsewhere, and then relogin to box?

I have a bit of a situation. My local Box workspace wasn’t syncing. The solution given to me by our help person was “copy the unsynced files folder to your desktop, and then logout and then login to box”. I did that, but now I have a directory full of unsynced files -- thousands of them, all in the same directory, with no hint as to the file path where they were originally!  is there some way to figure out how to get those back into the place they belonged in my workspace?
