If I drag a folder to Dropbox, will only the new changes in the folder update to the cloud?
Hi,
If I have done changes in a folder in my computer, can I drag the whole folder to Dropbox and will only the new and changed files be updated to the cloud?
Best

6 years agoHey Bengt B.1, thanks for getting back to us.
If you see a green icon with a white check mark on it, it means that the folder or file is downloaded and available locally.
However, if you see a folder with a white icon and a green tick, it means that some files are local and others are online only. We call this a mixed state folder.
You can find more information and visual examples of these icons, here.
Having said that, could you clarify which icon you're seeing?
Thanks again!

Thank you, they are white with a green tick all the way down to the Logic project file and when I look into that folder I find one folder called resources and inside that is ProjectInformation.plist and that one is green with a white tick, so obviously those are the files that Dropbox will not upload. Unfortunately, since when I take that file out it is not possible to start the project in Logic meaning that the Logic projects are not backed up properly unfortunately. Strange isn't it?
