Set up new computer and now I have tons of "selective sync conflict" folders and my account is full
Hi all... I just migrated to a new computer. I thought Dropbox would know what to do, but now there are tons of "selective sync conflict" folders and my dropbox is suddenly full?! Now that this is ha...
Hi Hannah,
Thanks for the reply. I didn't create any folders in the way you're describing. With my new computer, I used the standard Mac OS migration app to migrate my data from my old computer to my new computer. Other than that, I think I just signed into dropbox on my new computer (I didn't do anything to dropbox on my old computer). I can't remember doing anything else dropbox-related to either computer... Unfortunately, now I have hundreds of folders labeled "selective sync conflict." (probably my entire Dropbox of nearly 3 TB, I'm guessing?). What do you think?

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Jeremy K.8, when you used the Mac OS migration app, did you also migrate the Dropbox folder using that method?
This could be the reason for what you're experiencing, as we don't recommend using other systems of migrating files to a new machine in case of situations like this one.
