Hey AlQamar, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please clarify if you're using the desktop app, the mobile app or the website to download your files?
If you're getting a specific error, please feel free to send us a screenshot, so that we can have a visual too.

Hi Walter,
That was an old post but thanks for responding. At the time I was really trying to combine multiple dropboxes. I had recently quit work and found that half my files were in one dropbox sign-in and half were in another.
I've got a situation now whereI have two or three nearly identical dropbox folders on one computer. But I also have a new computer and it only shows one dropbox after I've signed in online and downloaded the app. My plan is to download all files, erase all my current dropboxes, and try to start over with just one dropbox. I do not use dropbox much for sharing files or collaboration. I use it as my virtual cloud for documents and find it preferable to being tied into One Drive, or iCloud, or Google Drive.
