Can I use the same Dropbox folder from 2 different drives?

Hello,

I am using 2 boots on the same machine, one on C drive and the other on D drive. The D Drive boot is already having Dropbox installed and I just installed the app on the second boot (C).

Is it possible (and how to proceed) to point the app on C of the new boot to the existing folder on D?

When I try to move the folder to D, it is a no-go as "there is already a folder Dropbox" on D.

I hope my explanation is understandable 🙂

    Hi there, @Braudoux40, welcome to the Dropbox Community.

     

    I'm afraid that with the way that the Dropbox application works, you can't use the same Dropbox folder from two different drives or have the app point to a Dropbox folder on a different drive.

     

    Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful in this case.

     

    If you have any questions, please let us know.
