How can I move multiple files using the Dropbox site?

How can I move multiple files using the Dropbox site?

I'm sorry, but I put this in the wrong thread. I have been looking for a solution to moving multiple files on the web app. I'm not using a phone or a tablet, just a web interface. When I sellect multiple files, the ellipses change to eyes for viewing the files (which makes no sense when multiple files are selected). I feel really dumb. Multi file selection.png

Hey @Mirage075, if you're moving files through the web and it's taking a long time to complete, could you check if you get the same experience if you do this from another browser?

 

Also, have a look at this article which mentions a few ways to tackle high CPU/RAM usage.

Hi @Lusil@Daphne 

 

I'm assuming your answer was meant for me as I'm the one with the CPU / speed issue.

Once again I would like to point out that ALL I'm doing is ONLINE, not on my own computer. The files are 100% in the cloud and 0% on my own harddrive. 

I've now also tried it with Safari (before I tried with Chrome) and it's not better. Attached a screenshot of the activity monitor while scrolling to my camera uploads folder.. As soon as I start doing this the fan on my computer comes on and it won't stop until I close the browser window.
