How can I safely backup my music files from my old laptop to a new device?

Hey abitofhelpplease welcome to our Community! 

From what I understand, you want to transfer your files from an old device, so you can then access them on your new laptop.

Is it safe to assume that the music files are currently saved on your device but not in Dropbox? If not feel free to clarify. 

Here's how this can work. You can download, and install the Dropbox app on your old device.

Once installed the app will then create a Dropbox folder in your File Explorer. This folder mirrors your Dropbox account online.

Anything you add in there, will then sync to the website, and any other connected device.

When you're ready to switch to your new laptop, all you have to do is sign out of the app and uninstall it from your old device. 

Then, you're free to follow the same process of downloading and installing the app on the new laptop. Once that's done, your files will begin syncing locally inside your Dropbox folder.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to let me know.
