So Trump never unpacked the documents and never knew what was inside the boxes but still refused to give them back and agreed to put a bigger lock. Makes so much sense.

What files the Trump team thought they had could be completely different from what the FBI knew was in the boxes, because they know who packed the boxes
When the FBI asked to beef up security of the files it probably didn't makes sense to the Trump team
You didn't answer the question, Trump had these boxes for two years, NARA asked for these boxes nearly a year ago - why didn't Trump take a look inside for all this time? Why didn't they just return it when asked? Why are they making the claims that he declassified the information if he didn't knew it was classified?
I doubt Trump hired historians to sort through millions of files...Its a job that can take years to catalog all that
Especially when most Black Soros State DAs are suing him with taxpayer money
Unless you can cite a source reference, this is non-contextual misinformation.
What million of files? There are 11 boxes of files at his resort, some of them had clear markings. Trump worked in government for four years, how hard was it to see those markings and return the boxes?
Interesting that the NARA would let those papers leave the Whitehouse
And the volume is staggering
During the Bush-Obama transition, two Boeing 747 cargo planes, a DC-8 transport, and 25 trucks moved records and gifts from Washington, D.C., to a temporary storage facility in Texas to await completion of the George W. Bush Library. That was 44,759 cubic feet of materials weighing 804,866 pounds—about the same as the weight of four Boeing 727 cargo planes.
This has nothing to do with my question, how come Trump didn't know he had marked Top Secret documents in his boxes after two years of having them, why is he claiming he declassified them if he didn't knew they were classified.
What you are quoting is NARA doing it's job, they are in charge of the documents and they own them, that has nothing to do with Trump keeping TS/SCI documents in his basement and refusing to give them back.
A top contender for dumbest post of the day.

The National Archives’ Important Role When the Presidency Changes Hands
Throughout the fall and winter of 2016, the National Archives staff has been working with the White House staff to provide for the orderly transfer of records while assuring that the records necessary to conduct the country’s business remain accessible.
In addition to managing the presidential records created in the White House, the National Archives has the responsibility to assist each of the executive branch departments and agencies in managing their records. At the end of an administration, these agencies face records management challenges as senior political appointees leave the agency.
Today, it is clear that the records of senior officials are official government records; however, this was not always the case. The records of many past cabinet secretaries are housed in the Library of Congress, in academic libraries, and in private collections.
