    Hi warrenmacdonald, let's jump right into this! 

     

    So, let's talk about the migration from your old machine, to the new one and into the new Dropbox for Mac OS. 

     

    If I were you, I'd install the app and allow for it to sync everything. Check that the app's syncing status is 'up to date', then either delete the content from the C drive or keep them as a backup, whatever you'd like.

     

    I wouldn't suggest that you manually drag and drop each folder, in case duplicates were to be created, which we don't want. 

     

    If you have any questions, let me know!
