apple migration when all dropbox files are online only

[Bede from Berkeley]

Hi,

I suspect the answer is here somewhere, but I could not find it.  I am migrating from one macbook air to another, and am wondering if I have to select dropbox to migrate over.  The listing of the files I know are place holders, so I dont know if I should migrate them as well or not.  What I do not want to happen is somehow the migration program downloads them to the old computer and then they end up on the new machine, or somehow they end up downloaded on the new machine.

Appreciative of any help.  Many thanks...
