Hi I used Mover.io to move 600GB last week from Google Drive to OneDrive. It can be used with Dropbox too, and is free. Not sure if this is still relevant, but you can give it a try: https://mover.io/guides/migrating-dropbox-to-dropbox/ Regards Casper

Hi You can move (cut and paste) the files from your Dropbox desktop app to another folder on your local computer (outside of the Dropbox folder). Once done, and the sync completed, the files will be removed from your Dropbox account. Then view the steps here to cancel your…

Hi Crispinhj Dropbox is a USA based company so I doubt that the UK politicians would have had anything to do with the recent updates. :-) Jokes aside. Let's try to get it working for you. What type of phone do you have (Apple or Android) and what errors do you get? Please paste a screenprint of the errors you get on here,…

Bye CM18. See you back soon.

Hi Jay You are right. 1. When I take a photo with my phone, it gets uploaded on Dropbox - I monitored the Desktop app and after a few seconds, the photo was uploaded to Dropbox. 2. I just need to "refresh the" Home" screen of the Dropbox app on my phone to show the latest photo/file/whatever. Never too old to learn.…

Hi Jay Tx for the suggestions. Not sure if it will help, but I added Dropbox to the "Apps that won't be put to sleep" list. My phone (Note 10+) reports that Dropbox is a high battery user (0.8%) but OneDrive tops the list at 17.3% lol. I unselected Dropbox from the "Optimise battery usage" list. All I did not change was…

Hi A quick look online showed me this: If you need to work with someone on files, you can create a shared folder. Files in shared folders sync between members’ Dropbox accounts, so each member of a shared folder needs a Dropbox account. So it seems that a person that needs to edit, needs a Dropbox account. To view a file,…

Hi CM18 and Herron Each to his/her own but I disagree with you. The new Dropbox experience (smart workplace) is easier to use and the integrations make it easy to share content with other people. Dropbox needs to evolve. And that is what they are doing. Otherwise they will be "just another cloud storage provider". I use…

Hi nhflasun16 I did extensive reading about this earlier this week. While I am no expert in zero knowledge encryption, this is what I found out: There are many few cloud providers that do zero knowledge encryption. Reason for that is not so that they can spy on you. It is to provide you with a faster user experience. Also,…

Hi Amy You are most welcome. This is the so called "new normal". Yes, some companies may be able to have their staff work from remote (home) locations, but it is also about the mindset of some managers who like to micro-manage their employees - unfortunately. Some sectors (mining, construction, etc. do not have that…

Great post. I've been working remotely (from home) for more than 3 years. Way more productive. I agree with you that investment in good home office furniture is a must - especially the chair. Also fast Internet - fibre if you can. One must also not forget to take regular breaks. I guess some people think they need to be…
