Just seen in help ignored-files FAQ's- Will the commands to ignore files and folders work on my operating system.
If you’re using Windows, Linux, or macOS earlier than 12.5 and have moved the Dropbox folder to a location other than the default one, the commands above won't work. You’ll need to update it manually.
Well I moved my Dropbox to R: Dropbox Not impressed if Dropbox cannot handle that. And what does it mean - to update it manually.

Hi Brian286! Hope you don’t mind if I jump in here.
Since the Dropbox folder is no longer in its default location, you’d need to manually update the directory that appears in the code of the PowerShell script here; this way, you should be able to ignore files in your Dropbox folder, even after being moved.
