Copying Files from Dropbox to portable memory stick or hard drive?
Can anyone help? I'm having trouble moving my files, I have Dropbox on my phone, tablet, home computer, work computer and work apartment but recently I've noticed If i try to copy a film for example,...
- If they are downloaded to your computer in the Dropbox folder then just move them like you would any other file/folder as thats exactly what they are.
If they are online you'll need to go to www.dropbox.com/home first and select the ones you want to download and then download them to the flash drive. If you select multiple files they'll download as a zip so you may need to unzip them.
For Windows, the simplest way to copy files from Dropbox to USB stick or hard drive is just choose the download tab on your dropbox and a pop up box will show 3 options OPEN, SAVE or CANCEL. Choose SAVE and 3 options will come out SAVE, SAVE AS and SAVE AND OPEN. Choose SAVE AS and the Explorer Window will come out and you can choose where to save your files. Hope that helps.
