Desktop Application Will Not Allow Existing Dropbox Folder to Be Used. Error: "The folder already contains a Dropbox directory."
I have been a happy user of Dropbox for years. Until recently . . .
Dropbox recently quit working properly. The latest issue today was that it failed to load the "platform plugin windows." The ...
You should not select the Dropbox folder but the folder you wish Dropbox to be placed in. Then it will be installed in that folder.
If its on a 2nd drive and not in a folder, simply select the Drive in the chooser window.
At least this is what I am thinking based upon your post. I made this same issue at first when trying to move Dropbox all those years ago.
The installer will let you choose the location. It on the last screen before it closes under the advanced settings. Many users myself included think Dropbox was already being installed in the default location at this point in the process but it was still waiting.
Hallo CCM,
Yes, you can follow the steps descibed above (see my explanation right above you).
In your case, you can follow 1st steps above, and for the 2nd steps, do this:
2. In Advance options, you point the folder to C:\\Forms\ <-- this is your target forlder, isnt'? !
(remember: to C:\\Forms\ only, not to C:\\Forms\Dropbox, instead you will get C:\\Forms\Dropbox\Dropbox)
After that, Dropbox will synchronize and indexing all the files in your C:\\Forms\ drive (dropbox). Let then work for a minutes to an hour (depend on size & your internet connection).
Done ! :)
-- SUGEST : before install dropbox, put all your files you want to be sychronized into those folder (C:\\Forms\) and then install dropbox.
If in any case, you miss this steps (which the Dropbox installed to C or the wrong place), don't worry, just cancel the instalation & start the steps I mentioned above.
You will be done with perfect place.
Success bro!.
