    Ok so finally it started auto backup yesterday where I did nothing. I think Dropbox takes time to make a pre -backup first. Once it estimated the total storage after more then 24 hours, then it started making the actual backup.

Yes, I have hover to the hdd.

It says, 0 bytes of 1.01 TB backed up, 0% complete.


It was earlier less then 1Tb before. It seems it’s backing up but why it’s showing 0% complete ?

Hey Sam, happy Monday!

 

Is the backup status still the same today?
