There seems to be a conflict between Dropbox and One Drive.  Though I saved the designs to Dropbox, I got an icon of an empty box and did not know how to correct this. On the new computer, I did not enable One Drive so maybe I need to look at my old computer for that.

    Hi JudyK1 

     

    No 2 cloud storage systems work together well. If you have tried to just move from OneDrive to Dropbox did you download everything locally first and then reupload to Dropbox? If not it wont work - there is no way to upload online only files between cloud providers without thirdparty paid addons.
