Dropbox StaffHey Paul D.4 - could you please clarify your computer's OS version, and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your menu bar?
When it comes to your connected devices, you can see them listed in your account's security page.
As for changing the location of your Dropbox folder, you should be able to achieve it through the app's preferences normally, so I'm not quite sure about the issue at hand. Could you elaborate a tad or provide a screenshot of what's bothering you?
Why are all the modification dates on my folders in dropbox the same?
Almost 2 weeks after doing the migration (on 9/24), and a week after posting this thread about the duplicate dropBoxes I'm seeing something that horrifies me which is the active DropBox does not behave as it used to on my older MacBook in far as little cloud icons appear next to the folders, and they all have the *same date* which was the date of the migration from the old MacBook to the new (9/24). This is a calamity because I routinely use modify date to sort recently used folders to the top of the list in the directory and having the same date, completely undoes this!
I want all the files and DropBox to be truly local and mirrored in the cloud. period. Then what does the grey cloud icon next to the file name mean vs a green check mark in a white circle vs a white check mark in a green circle.
Thanks in advance for any help.
