Sorry, one last question, so there’s no way around having to download them to the computer before transferring to the external hard drive? I thought in the pst I could drag them from whatever they were on to the hard drive as long as they were both connected to the computer
The only way to transfer from Dropbox online directly to an external drive is to download the files from the Dropbox website and specify your external drive as the download location in your browser.
If, however, you already have the Dropbox application installed and your files are syncing to the local Dropbox folder (which is already on your computer), you can just drag them from the Dropbox folder to your external drive.
That’s so neat that I can specify the download location from Dropbox website, where do I do that?
