How can I move my Dropbox files to a new computer?
Windows 11 Pro Dropbox I have this Dropbox installed on my now much older and computer and want to move this over to my newest, extremely faster new system. Both are on my home network. What is the step by step process to copy or move this data? When the move is complete there will be no new data sent to the old computer. The data is a massive amount of telescope images taken remotely and sent as taken to this account. The system is in California while I am in Virginia. Currently this account has just over 1TB of raw data to be moved. The old drive in the old computer will be removed and stored as a physical backup. I just want the quickest way to transfer the data please and the step by step process to accomplish this. I'm 71 years old, somewhat comfortable with computer systems however this new Windows 11 Pro will take some getting use to. The new computer has 2 - 2TB m.2 hard drives and 2 - 16 TB 3.5" hard drives. The second m.2 drive is mainly used as swap folder space for image processing. I've used Dropbox for years but know little of the inner workings. I install, usually with some issue it seems, then it just does its thing.

I want to be able to open the currently selected file or folder directly in the web browser on dropbox.com with a single keyboard shortcut — without having to repeatedly open the Dropbox app or right-click and select "View on dropbox.com" every time. If this feature were provided, I think the Dropbox web interface could be used much more easily and conveniently as a file viewer.
The photos from my phone do not show up in the Photos and Screenshots folders on my laptop
Bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop, Windows 11, last Dec. Since then, my photos disappear after uploading from my Samsung Galaxy phone. Photos file and screenshot file are still in my Dropbox App on the laptop, but photos don't show up. Also got a storage limit alert email. In the last two weeks also noticed that control-print screen screenshots not showing up in Dropbox screenshot file ? Is this just Windows trying to force me to use their program ?
Dropbox folder missing from indexed locations for searching on Windows 10
Device HP Desktop Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 10 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 238.4.6075 Syncing Status Up To Date Question or Issue I've not been able to find documents using search in my dropbox folder for a few weeks. I went to indexing options to remove dropbox from indexing and re-add it hoping it would rebuild the index. IT'S NOT THERE TO SELECT AT ALL!! I have my dropbox as a fold in Documents. When I go to C Users Myname Documents, dropbox is not there. I've right clicked the folder and in properties, went to advanced, UNCHECKED allow this folder to have contents indexed and applied that. Then I went back and checked it so they could be indexed and applied that. Dropbox is still not in the indexing options list of folders.
Setting up Smart Sync is not working
Hello all, I'm trying to setup smart sync on a windows 7 64 bit desktop. The problem I'm getting is right after it's done installing I get this box that flashes on the screen "Windows requires a digitally signed driver" . Then I click on the dropbox icon and it says Smart Sync is experiencing an issue... , and then dropbox proceeds to start downloading every file. Things I've tried, I disabled the anti virus, I've ran the intall program as as admin, I've set the computer to online only, I went into GPedit and regedit and told the system to ignore the driver signing. I'm at a loss. Please help, thank you
