Hi Hannah,

I seem to have Dropbox 244.4.6580

Indexing 34865 files

Uploading 5349 files

Downloading 34900 files…

 

My offline dropbox is not taking any space on myC partition. It just vanished and all the files are online and can be opened if online and after it takes time to download.  I just don’t understand what is happening. I have 3d and cad files I can’t work on because they take even 30 minutes to open because they are not open from my computer folder but from cloud

My whole dropbox folder behaves like this and all my offline folders are not anymore since I can’t open if I stop the internet connection.
