#BOX SYNC FOR MAC NOT WORKING DOWNLOAD#

Moreover, kindly note that the Dropbox servers do not set caps on the upload or download speeds from the Desktop client, but file sync is a complicated process that includes more than just the transfer of the data as each file is divided and compressed into hashed components, transferred via secure data transfer, and then encrypted and stored on our servers. Do not delete them from the Dropbox folder if the files haven't finished syncing. Please be patient and the files will sync. Thus, it may look like the folders are empty or incomplete if you look during the syncing process.

When Dropbox syncs the files it starts with all of the folders, then uploads files from smallest to largest. Happy to copy and paste files down, work on them, then put them back, but none of our Macs have 2TB of space for all our files and folders! When I delete files from my local Dropbox folder (to make space for the next batch of 500GB), they're deleted on Dropbox as well? I have everything set to online-only so I'm not sure why it would delete from Dropbox as well?Р”В®DIT: In case it helps, what I am eventually trying to do is stop using the local hard drive and free-up space on all our Macs by having all files online. My first question is - Am I right in thinking that when I paste a file or folder into the local Dropbox folder on my Mac, it uploads it to Dropbox and deletes it from my computer since I have everything set to online-only?Р”В¬opy around 500GB from our local hard drive to my Mac in batches (limited space on my Mac).Р”Вropbox then uploads that 500GB worth of data.Р”В«ut.

We're trying to move all files from a 2TB local networked hard drive to Dropbox.
