Dropbox wants to upload all my files
I got a new laptop. After a week or two I noticed that Dropbox was not initiating upon starting my computer. Once I discovered this and started Dropbox, it wants to upload all 92,000 files in my Drop...
When I got my new laptop I left the old one at the Apple Store and they transferred all of the content from the old one to the new one. As far as I know I didn’t download anything from scratch. So the Dropbox desktop app and my Dropbox folder were transferred to the new laptop. It was several days befroe I noticed that the Dropbox desktop app was not initiating upon stating up the laptop and when I noticed that I manually started the desktop app. That’s when I noticed that all 92,000 files were syncing and also that no process was being shown. My Dropbox folder and desktop app were both transferred from the old laptop to the new laptop. If you can tell me how to upload pictures I’ll upload screenshots of what I see when the cursor hovers over the Dropbox icon.
