I am using Dropbox on first computer and now I installet the same Dropbox account to another computer. I wanted to move it from C: drive do my D: data drive using Dropbox Preferences dialog box. I have problem and got the message: 'Error moving Dropbox - Some files can't be moved. Please select a new location or close some open files and try again.'
