Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing dbxcli file and folder commands and the Dropbox API capabilities for changing local versus online-only status. Determine the command-line inputs needed for both files and folders, then verify that the completed behavior works for the reported migration workflow.

Description

Hello,
I have to move several TB of data from one team dropbox to another and via web this is not possible since the operation stops for every share issue.

I'm doing it using my pc as bridge and it would be really useful to be able to set a file as local or online only via cmd line.
