Sync

How do I replace the files stored locally on my PC with those that I have organised in DropBox.com ? I have deleted many files online and rearranged my folders as sync was not working due to lack of hard disk space. So after rearranging online I don't want the files on my PC to upload back to the online version. I want the online version to replace the local version

It's probably best to just let Dropbox re-download all your files. If it were me, I'd uninstall Dropbox, rename the Dropbox folder to Dropbox.old, and then reinstall Dropbox. This will cause Dropbox to start a new Dropbox folder and download everything from your account. You can then determine if there's anything in the Dropbox.old folder that you need to save. If not, simply delete it.
