migrating to a new PC, Online only?
Hi,
I will be migrating to a new PC soon. In my current PC Dropbox saves files to the cloud and my local hard drive. I want the new PC to be online only should I change the current PC to online only prior to installing Dropbox on the new computer?
Any other tips related to accessing Dropbox from the new computer greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Willt

It doesn't matter. The settings on your old computer have no effect on the settings you apply to the new computer. Just install Dropbox on the new computer and you'll have the option of specifying Online-only for your files.
