How to download / move files back to my computer
Does anyone know how to download the files that I previously uploaded to my dropbox, back to my computer? There's a lot so can I do entire folders, or at least select multiples? Appreciate any help, thanks.

The easiest method is to just install the Dropbox client and let all of your folders sync to your computer automatically. Otherwise you need to download files individually, or grouped together in a Zip file, from the Dropbox website.

As Rich says: install the client in your PC. Files will start to download in the background.
I am a newbie at this and going quite crazy. I have a folder with lots of photoes that I need to download to my computer. I have tried zip but lots of the files do not appear when the downloaded file is unzipped. I have looked for a synchronize immediately but cannot find anywhere to get the computer to do this. Can you help please?

Install Dropbox in your computer. Use your login credentials. At the end, Dropbox will download your cloud content to your computer.
Doh, I found all my files, in the Dropbox folder in my computer. I feel very silly!
Thanks for the helpful comments :-)
Can someone tell me how to save a 365 Word document to a particular folder in dropbox? The only option I get is to save to Dropbox, but not to a specific file.
Help! I uploaded my music and files to Dropbox and I want to put everything back. How do I download back.
