Moving .band files from iCloud to Dropbox

Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to be part of this community and sorry if my English isn't excellent...
I'm asking for help for some files with ".band" (Garageband) extension that I moved from iCloud to Dropbox with W10.
Not long ago everything was ok, but now I have all the files at 0 Kb!!! therefore unreadable.
Infinite thanks to those who want or can help me.

  • Hi NiK1978, thanks for contacting us!

     

    As there isn't a direct method to transfer files from one cloud service to another, you could try downloading the files from iCloud onto your machine, and then move them into the Dropbox folder, if the Dropbox desktop application is installed.

     

    Otherwise, you could upload the files to the site itself, once they're downloaded from iCloud onto your machine.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

        Hey NiK1978, sorry to jump in here.

         

        What my colleague suggested is a way to avoid the 0kb files, but let's see what we can find out about the current situation.

         

        How exactly did you initially upload the files? Just drag and dropped them from iCloud to the Dropbox folder?

         

        And where do you see this behavior? Locally on your Dropbox folder, on our website, or both?
