dropbox pretending my files are online only while copying

[TomTommy1]

Hello all.

I do not have selective sync on/I have all folders checked to be held locally.

Save HD space automatically is off.

new files default is "local"

My computer says my drop box folder is the same number of gigs as drop box tells me when I logon online.

So can someone please tell my why my current attempt at copying all my drop box folders via USB to an external hardrive is going at a snails pace as dropbox pops up every second telling me it's downloading a file- the same file I see is being copied at that moment??????????  As if I can't copy my local dropbox files to other locations with out downloading every one?????????????

WOW

show me how dumb I am
