If you have no internet can you open them for example?
Then if you can what does Dropbox say if you mouse over its icon on the status bar?
Okay. I wasn't sure what you meant for me to do... however, I see some things that you made me look at more closely.
Even though they are showing up in Finder-->Dropbox and the data is there, it is only some of the data. It looks like PDF's possibly, no matter.
What I did do was a small experiment to see if the data can be copied in the same manner. It did not.
So, I guess I don't understand how I'm going to "backup" iCloud. Maybe I can't?
I was looking for an easy way but maybe I have to download the iCloud Files and then upload them. I can't say I quite understand how Dropbox works yet.
