How do I download every one of my files from Dropbox to a 2TB external drive?
My old laptop died and i want to download every file on DB to an external drive connected to this laptop . How do i do that in one or two moves.

So let me understand what I am up against. First is that DB easily has coppied my entire lap top and did it real quick. What you just told me is that to reverse that process, that I have to do these things in batches. Do you mean Cut and Paste or Copy?
Or my best bet is to buy an alternative software that i can use to log on to DB direct DB to use the new external drive and that will cost me somewhere between $30 and up depending on duck or cyber ..

The only way to get out of DB jail is to call your CC company and file a complaint that DB functions like a jail for your property and you are not able to get it back with out a major effort. Whats more is that DB has intentionally used this model of NON SERVICE. Three years ago i tried to disengage my property with DB to find the same. I squandered 2 hrs of my time valued at $650 so I opted to let the $120 ride. Now I am semiretired and expect that DB will not like me for squandering my time and holding my property hostage behind almost impossible runarounds. There will be more from me when I complete my Public Relations campaign that details this and all other failed attempts to UNLOAD my property from the DB servers to my storage devices.
