How can I be sure that all files and none excluded are on my PC in their entirety?
I don't want the files to be stored only online because I have enough space on the hard drive. If I have to mov...

2 years agoHey GioSomma, thanks for your post and hope you’re doing great.
First of all, can you clarify what type of drive it is that you’re referring to? What drive is your Dropbox folder saved on at the moment and where would you move it later on, for example? Just so that I can provide the info you need.
To make sure all of your files/folders are available offline, you can right click on your local Dropbox folder directly and select the “Make available offline” option. Do you still see cloud icons next to your files/folders after that?
Finally, I want a screenshot of the "You have chosen to hide some folders” message you see in the app preferences.
Let me know when you’re ready.

In Windows 11, Path U:\MyCloud\GS-Org\Dropbox
For example the folder 0-Utenti (Cloud) and the folder ChiaviSSH (checkmark on a white background instead of green).

Hey GioSomma - thanks for the screenshot.
From what you mentioned, it seems that you're running a beta version of the Dropbox desktop app.
Could you check if the issue persists on the latest, stable version?
Just make sure to toggle off the early releases from your account's settings first.

Strange. I surely installed it by downloading it from the official portal.
Where can I find the version of what is installed?
