Hi Paul D.4, in order to understand this in more detail, could you sort the files by date and attach them together side by side, with the same files in order (since they're blurred we can't tell which is which) so that we can see what the difference is?
Hi Jay, thanks for responding. I realize that the thread is getting stuck on side issues and missing the central issue. You can see from the screen grabs that the modified date on most everything in the dropbox folder is the day of the migration that's bad and I need to remedy that.

I read somewhere the dropbox well-meaning way does not save locally to save local storage, but that's not what I want.
Thanks, Paul
