Reinstalled older Time Machine backup vs newer Remote files, what will sync?
Hi. My MBP crashes so I needed to do a clean install. However my latest timemachine backup is from last month so after the reinstall is done the Dropbox folder structure and files are as a month ago....

In this case, I'd recommend leaving the app to sync normally until it's 'up to date' @Gaudi H.
From there, if you notice any files or folders missing, you can restore them through your deleted files page or the events page, if needed.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Or... as I only made changes in 2 or 3 project folders.. only delete those migrated folder and let Dropbox sync those and keep the rest as they're identical?
