    Drop box to move family files from my desktop to Mac Book Pro

    Could somebody tell me why I can't transfer my family files from my desktop to my laptop?

    I am going on a History and Genealogy Cruise in 2 days and want to attend a Reunion Workshop, but when I click 'export' my files via dropbox a pop up advises that I need to put in my name and registration number. I have done this but it won't accept same, when I click enter the accept box is remains grey.

    How can I do this move?

    Thank you in anticipation

    Ever thought of using a simple thumb drive?

      Perhaps a better understanding of Dropbox works will help here.

      When one puts a file in Dropbox, one is actually putting the file in a local folder on the Mac. The folder is named Dropbox is located MacintoshHD > Users > UserName > Dropbox. When one puts an item in said folder, it initiates an upload to the Dropbox servers into a duplicate folder. Essentially, Dropbox is keeping both folders in synch.

      Now that you know how and where, SGilbert has given you the best solution.
