Dropbox Community ModeratorHi there Beeblejuice - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us. Your feedback has been noted in our system - you can let us know if you have anything else to add.
I think I need to switch from Dropbox to another cloud service. Dropbox suggested organizing my files, but the interface is confusing. Clicking the checkbox at the top selects everything, not just the visible files. Then I get stuck in the 'make it online only' process. How can I stop this? How can I deal with it? It's frustrating that there doesn't seem to be a solution.

Hey mihau, thanks for the feedback here.
Would you mind clarifying which interface you're referring to?
If you could send us some screenshots showing what seems to be confusing/troubling you, so we can have a visual and guide you better, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
So, after selecting the top-left checkbox, it selected all the files I have on my drive synchronized with Dropbox, even though there were only a dozen or so files on the list to choose from. This is very unintuitive.
But that’s not the worst part, because after starting the "make it online" process, it has been stuck for 24 hours, blocking my routine use of the cloud. I can't turn it off; I can only pause it, which doesn't solve my problems. Please add an option to cancel the process while it's running.
