I don't see my external drive backup files, even though the backup is completed.
It's my first time using Dropbox Backup and I wanted to backup my external hard drive before I change the settings on it. On the Dropbox Backup homepage, it says backup is completed, but when I click...

Yes. Only my folders are there. All my folders say 0 items.

Hey borii, have you restarted your computer, to see if that makes any difference?
If not, can you send us a screenshot showing that your backup appears as complete?

Here you go.

Thanks for that, borii.
This is strange, because it does show that the backup is almost 33 GB.
Can you send us a couple of screenshots showing the discrepancy between the actual hard drive and what you see on the backups page, please?

I crossed out my folder titles for privacy but I have a lot of files and all I'm seeing on Dropbox is 0 items.
