I am no longer wanting to use Dropbox. I want to take all photos and videos from my "camera uploads" section and move them to an external hard drive. Aside from selecting each individual file I cannot figure out an expeditious way to do this. With over 3k photos, that option is just not realistic.

Can anyone help me with this query?? My question posed to Dropbox help desk only referred me to a very unhelpful link to a site that just shows me how to copy and paste files on my computer, which I am already well aware of how to do.

Thank you for any feedback you can provide!
