PS I've just noticed that a third laptop, running Windows 11, has finished donwloading over 20,000 files, but I haven't changed that many!   However, a lot of dates are wrong.  For example, one of the the sub-folders in the Dropbox folder is named "Applications" but all the sub-folders within it have different dates on each of the three laptop.  One shows variuos dates, which is to be expected because it should be the last date each folder was updated.  The Windows 10 machine however shos most of them with a date of 29/03/2024 and the third machine shows them all dated 11/11/2023.
