How do I get my files out of Dropbox? Why is my quota so much larger than my sync?
My plan has expired and I want to remove all of my files from Dropbox. You would say that I should just set up sync and then I'll have a copy of all my files locally, but my Dropbox stats say that I have 785Gb in Dropbox, but my supposedly-completed sync only takes up 108Gb on my disk. Why is there such a disparity, and how do I know all my files have synced? Isn't there some way I can just download them in bulk? If I try to select even single directories it says the files are too big to zip. I honestly feel like Dropbox wants me to upgrade and are doing everything they can to make leaving their product impossible, and this is starting to drive me a little nuts. Thanks for any help!
Unable to delete files... which cannot be unlocked
I am attempting to delete some rather large files from my wife's computer so she can update to the latest version, Big Sur, for her Macbook Air. She previously downloaded the files from her minister's Bible study forum on Dropbox. She can easily access them from Dropbox.com, so I thought it possible to delete her dropbox folder. Unfortunately, the files did not go away and the Dropbox folder doesn't show up in Finder. I found a lot of the files by searching for the large Zoom files. When I try to delete these files individually, they are locked and will not unlock. The system says she does not have the appropriate permission. I can't change the permissions. How can I delete these files? Note the following screenshot. The Dropbox folder appears to be located in the Documents folder, but it does not show up; it is hidden and I do not know how to unhide it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Rick
