Dropbox Back-up - (not Beta) on Mac
Having experimented with Dropbox back-up, I have disabled the sync. Q1: it has re-organised my arrangement of folders and files so nowI have to waste time correcting the interference. Is there an...
I think I've now got the hang of it. By searching o google and finding your advice to use alt+H etc. I am relieved to have found a folder that was "missing' which I have now put somewhere more accessible. So far approximately 190,000 files have synced,
Noted, thank you. However, having re-organised some of the folders in the sidebar i now cannot restore because having mobed them I get an error message. Also i cannot find the some folders which I am really annoyed about because they are vital and I need them. Talk aboutan intrusive set-up.
I paused the back-up because there are thousands and i don'twant to find that if I change my mind I can't stop. Seemingly I've no choice but to continue and then download what I want. Is that correct?
I had considered moving them to the Dropbox folder to syn as indeed some are already but as i;ve said there are thousands and i didn't have time tthen. If I could download them all now from the back-up then I'd do that. But how do i download when it won't let me because I''ve changed the position of the the parent folders and canot remember exactly where they were before?
ps Now i cannot download them from the Back-iup because I get message about attempting to have too many files in a zip.
So, what has Dropbox done with my folders and files and how can i get them back? I have Time Machine back-ups but am reluctant to restore from there for fear Dropboab will get them as well.
pps - and despite clicking pause it hasn't so i am continuing te back-up (approx 1 hour remaining) and I only hope i shall be able to rstore them all because if i can't then Dropboax will be hearing from my lawyers.
When i startd on this I had no idea and there was no warning that it would be a one-way process. As for selecting the folder to back-up I was only given 2 to choose from, not having a beta, so the entirely of my desktop. and document folders are being back-up which is not what I would've chosen,
