Some of my files have transformed into .icloud
Hi! I'm experiencing something strange - some of my files have the ending ".icloud," and I can't open them. I never saved the files like that, it seems like some of my files have just transformed into .icloud. Anyone tried this before?

That means they are being stored and backed up to iCloud.
You need to download them from there and turn off iCloud syncing/backup of the Dropbox directories for it to work
- Hi Mark, thank you very much for replying. I actually have no files in my ICloud, so I’m not sure where they are. I had some issues a while ago trying to make my computer stop having a local copy of my Dropbox files, maybe something happened there. I deleted the Dropbox app from my computer now, so I hope it won’t affect any more files.

I suggest you also check your events page if you wish to have a closer look to how this started.
In any case, I'm glad you took the matter into your own hands, and we are here if you need anything else!
