Thank you for answering. I can't risk leaving a stone unturned, so if anyone knows anything about this, your feedback would be much appreciated.

Also - before all this I was at 7-8 TB / 9 TB total. During this process (which is now frozen by me until I get the all clear) my dropbox bloated to 10,5 TB / 9 TB and I get warnings about being above the limit. I just don't want to risk further complications. Do you guys temporarily increase my limit or do I need to do something? I'm guessing the extra 2-4 TB comes from sync-errors/duplicates - so not really my fault?...
