Migration and Dropbox question

[tinksquared]

My power supply on my 2017 iMac is failing, and I’ve got a 2021 MacBook Pro on the way to replace it. I live in the sticks, with abysmally slow internet. If I were to use the Mac migration assistant, can I include my dropbox folder in it (500gb of data stored) and have it resume syncing, or am I going to have to download all that data again? 500GB is the data I need, I didn’t include the extra I‘m okay with only being in the cloud.

I don’t use MA, instead clones. But I’ve always copied the DB folder over and it’s worked just fine. Next sync was normal, no extended indexing. Works the same way with clean installs. Note: haven’t used DB in 5 years so I may be totally out of date.

Thanks, I'll give it a try then.
