@KathleenWT wrote: Please tell me how to unsync specific folders so that they only update on my local drive. You can just move the folders outside of your Dropbox folder so they doesn't sync.

@"wmcorcor" wrote:But wouldn't DropBox be sophisticated enough to make the file/folder available offline (on my C: drive), copy it to the USB drive and then return that file/folder to Online-Only? No, Dropbox doesn't do that automatically. How exactly would I use DropBox.com to copy this folder? You'd have to download…

@"wmcorcor" wrote:I suspect what's happening is that DropBox is taking the Media folders out of Online-only to perform the copy? Exactly. You can't do anything with files that are in Online-only mode. They're just placeholders and not the real files. If you try to open, copy, move, etc., any file that's marked as…

@"lohphat" wrote:Those files by the owner exist in a single account. Sharing doesn't duplicate the files taking up more physical storage.

@"Bob_1" wrote: Tried “make available off line” for a few files/photos ... So WHERE did it store those at? They're located in an application specific storage area that isn't user accessible outside of Dropbox. If your intent is to move the files to another server, you can't do it that way. You would need to export the…

@"Buff Daddy" wrote:So according to that, it's just been shared with view access. So I can't figure out why this is taking up room. It may be view access but it's still a shared folder that you've been invited to, rather than a shared link. A shared folder is added to your account and you have your own copy of the folder…

@"Glenn M.5" wrote:However, the dropbox app updated moving the folder to /Users/username/CloudStorage/Dropbox. Now the issue is happening on this Mac, as well. Are the files marked as Available offline, or Online-only? Mark one as Available offline and see if the issue persists for that file.

@"Bylgja" wrote: So my pictures are somewhere over the rainbow ? If you haven't accessed the account since 2016, then yes, the account and everything in it would have been deleted long ago. Dropbox would have emailed you multiple times before deleting the account.

@"Bylgja" wrote: No its so long time ago ca 2016 If you haven't used your account since 2016 and you weren't on a paid plan, the account likely no longer exists. If an account sits idle for more than a year it's deleted due to inactivity. Once deleted, there's no way to recover the account or the files that it contained.
