How long have you given it?
What does it say if you mouse over the Dropbox icon?

Hi Jled81, thanks for messaging the Community!
Restoring from a computer backup can take time depending on the number of files in the backup.
I'd recommend giving some more time for the backup to continue.
Keep me posted!

Let it run overnight. Didn't do anything. Today I was able to download 2 folders manually. The next 2 that I need I get the message "Attempted to zip too many files"
