    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

Hi,

 

I have now logged out of my Dropbox and logged back in.


Dropbox is still located in Library - CloudStorage.

 

What went wrong?

 

Additional information:

In the settings, under synchronization, the storage location of the Dropbox folder shows the info: In this version of macOS, Dropbox folders are stored in a predetermined location.

 

Best regards,
Carina

 

Edit:

I found the settings during the installation where I can choose my own storage location.
It is now back under User-my-Dropbox.

There is still the Library folder on my Mac and it includes Dropbox. 
When I click on it, it says: This Dropbox folder is not linked.

Can this folder be deleted, or will it cause problems?
I don't want to delete all the data in Dropbox and then not be able to access it.
I hope you understand my concern.

Hey Carina, hope it’s alright if I jump in. 

 

What’s the syncing status of your Dropbox app now? Is it up to date? 

 

If you open your Dropbox folder under the new location (under “Users”), do you see all your Dropbox files along with syncing icons next to them?

 

I’d like to make sure everything’s syncing properly before taking any actions on the previous Dropbox folder.
