    Hi everyone!

    Quick update:
    The data transfer was successful. I deleted the old data, and now everything is working again with Lightroom - the error message about synchronization issues is gone.

    Thank you very much for the help and have a great weekend.

    Best regards,
    Carina

Thanks Megan.  I did and the issue still there.  I also restarted the computer... Same issue...  it has been going on for months on and off.  Mosty on.  I think the whole think started when Dropbox made an upgrade affecting Apple equipment: the Dropbox folder was then located in a newly created "CloudStorage" folder...

I have also noticed the following when using the "Space Lens" Utility in my hardrive... Besides the Dropbox folder there is another one named "Group Containers" that I have no idea what it is.  Intentionally I don't keep much in my hard drive... Only software and my live Lightroom files for editing...  I am not an expert but the combination of Dropbox and Lightroom Classic may be creating the "monster / hidden" folder that takes a lot of space in my hard drive...
