    Hi DarrenABA,

    Do you know if the 2 TB drive on the laptop is partitioned such that there is not a large enough partition for the Dropbox folder to fit? If you go to the "This PC" window in the Windows File Explorer, it should list drives/partitions and specify the size and free space.

     

    In order to sync your entire Dropbox, there needs to be a partition with enough space to fit the entire Dropbox folder.

    To add to what Nate_C said.... what does Dropbox say if you mouse over its icon on the status bar?
