Can I link my old Dropbox folder again to my account after moving to a new device?
I am a DropBox Pro user since many years. Lightning destroyed my W7 PC where I had a partition 😧 with a folder named DropBox. The folder was replicated and syncronized with the DropBox cloud.
Now ...
Hi Nancy, checking the syncing icons next to file names what i could not do up to now, there were only the dreaded Xes. Now however, I have taken the drastic measure and simply uninstalled onedrive, and that seems to have cured this problem. So, for the moment at least, DropBox is starting to look familiar again. Next will be to change the local DropBox location from C:\Users\.... to somewhere else more convienient. Many thanks for you all for your help solving this 😃

Dropbox StaffHi again, LaEi! As for the grey X icon you keep seeing, this is usually the explanation.
Other than that, you can check if your Dropbox app has synced all of your files to our servers, and hence your online account, by checking its syncing status; if it says it’s up to date, then you should be good. Besides that, you can also check the syncing icons next to each one of your files.
