Still struggling to get files onto our laptop that can be used as ON LINE ONLY-- Not seeing anything in our Dropbox.com that makes it easy to download files - unless I download the entire file and then right click on it to make it ON LINE ONLY-- ALso the files are huge.
------------------------------
I wonder, can I copy a file in my dropbox folder in my desktop to a thumb drive- then past it into the dropbox folder in our laptop-- would I then right click on it to make it ON LINE ONLY--
This would be way faster then downloading each of the files from Dropbox.com into our laptop ( even if we can which is seeming problimatic, even dropbox help says it can't download files over 20GB and all the various folders in our Dropbox account are larger than that)
What harm can I do by copying a folder from our desktop to a thumbdrive -- then pasting it into the dropbox folder in our laptop????
