Download All Files to Close Out Dropbox Account

Hello there! Thanks for the help in this topic.

I too want to download all files. The problem is the way dropbox seems to be set up is that even though I have all the files on my desktop it is compressed versions of the files and it never actually backs up. I need instructions on how to have a complete copy because I also have backup drive that is supposed to sync all files up to 2tb and they are also not syncing except for zero k shortcuts. This is very frustrating.

I just want all my files to be synced and dropbox compressing these files though I pay to have them all available to me is aggravating it makes me want to quit the service.
