Selective sync issues after migrating to a new Mac Mini M4 from an M1
I upgraded to a Mac Mini M4 from a Mac Mini M1, there are many Dropbox Selective Sync issues after migration.
I think I understand how to clear them up, but how can I get folders that are already...

A Selective Sync conflict will occur when you've used the Selective Sync feature to remove the local copy of a folder, and then create a new folder in your local Dropbox with the same name. Dropbox can't sync the new folder because one already exists with the same name, so the folder is renamed to indicate the conflict and allow it to sync.
You can manage which folders will sync locally by updating your Selective Sync settings.
Also, don't confuse Selective Sync with online-only/available offline. These are two different features and they work differently. After you've checked the folders in Selective Sync, if they're showing as online-only you can right-click them and set them as available offline.
