Copying Files from Dropbox to portable memory stick or hard drive?
Can anyone help? I'm having trouble moving my files, I have Dropbox on my phone, tablet, home computer, work computer and work apartment but recently I've noticed If i try to copy a film for example,...
- 8 years agoIf they are downloaded to your computer in the Dropbox folder then just move them like you would any other file/folder as thats exactly what they are.
If they are online you'll need to go to www.dropbox.com/home first and select the ones you want to download and then download them to the flash drive. If you select multiple files they'll download as a zip so you may need to unzip them.

Hi Janet M,
I'm sure you've found a solution already, but I came here for the same reasons - the message about "this folder/ file has properties that cannot be copied to new location". I just went ahead and said Yes. Everything copied over just fine. So, I'm not understanding what the message is about, but it doesn't seem to affect the function of copying something to a usb drive/stick. Go ahead and do it.

Hi I've had this problem many times and you've just solved it for me! The message seems to be irrelevant. It just does it anyway. Many Thanks NF
