    Basically that xyz file and 11 more items expire in 2 days and hasn't yet been downloaded. Trouble is I don't recall any file transfers. This is a static account for updates on word docs. Nothing I would be sending out anywhere. Anyway as long as they don't disappear I'm happy.

I have invited a friend to share a dropbox folder with a lot of files (about 2400 song lyrics and chords).  He synced all of the songs into his Songbook program.  Now he has received this same message - "Your transfer expires in 2 days".  Does this mean he will lose all his songs?  What should he do?
