Can't move dropbox sync location or open dropbox desktop app

This has been happening since my last computer...

What I would like to do is sync my dropbox to save to my external drive; however, I cannot access the dropbox app to go to sync settings and trying to simply move it doesn't work.

Settings for this are not avaiable online and im worried that if i uninstall the app I'll lose all my saved folders that I've pinned on my computer (which i guess I can just re add)

I've tried looking at my antivirus software as well, but that didn't help as dropbox doesn't seem to be blocked.

this would free up a ton of storage, so please help!
