What happens to the files when you fix hardlinks?
Hello,
I am not tech savvy and need help understanding what I just did. 🙂
So I was having trouble with dropbox syncing so I did the "fix hard links" step (which didn't actually fix the problem) ...
@Megan Thank you so much for your help and easy to understand explanation!
So the trouble I'm having is with syncing an external hard drive (G-technology drive) to Dropbox for the first time. It looks like some items synced but I don't know what they are because I can't even open them and it's not what I see on the actual hard drive. And then I get an error message saying "Couldn't upload. Give Dropbox permission to access this file."
I am now realizing there may be strategies specific for external drive issues that I need to try. But if you have any advice, I would be greatly appreciative!
Many thanks again! 🙂
