"Folder is in use" error when trying to move a folder out of the Dropbox folder
I moved a LARGE file to my Dropbox so my boss could work from it for the weekend - soon learned this was a bad idea because of how long it took to upload. Now, I would like to move it back to just my local computer but it keeps telling me folder is in use.
I have tried to "Quit" the Dropbox app and do it, thinking this would solve any "Sync pending" issues. I have also restarted computer (multiple times) thinking it would work.
How can I make this happen?

I don't know what the 3rd party app would be. Do you have any common ones that seem to cause problems? I will restart again, but have done multiple times.

Hey Grl4Sprt! If you quit the Dropbox app and the issue persisted, then I also believe that this has to do with a third-party app.
However, I’m afraid we can’t provide much info on that; you’ll need to check what apps are running in the background when you receive this error message.
