Installing Dropbox desktop app for Windows to Program Files instead of x86 Program Files
Is there any way to modify Dropbox installation procedure so that it installs to Program Files folder instead of Program Files (x86)...?
e.g. with some parameter after dropbox-install.exe
If not when is it in schedule to change the folder?
Dropbox is one of only programs left that I have that installs to Program Files x86. The program seems to be already 64-bit so it could very well be located in Program Files with majority of other apps.

Hey golemus - thanks for posting on our Community and sharing your thoughts on this.
Can you please clarify the OS version of your computer and the version of the Dropbox desktop app that you installed there?
Is there any particular reason you're looking to do this by the way?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

1. It is easier to keep track of all apps if they are located in same folder (C:\Program Files)
2. C:\Program Files (x86) is a legacy thing, I want to get rid of all legacy stuff and all 32bit stuff as loading/keeping both 32 and 64 bit environments consume more memory and is less stable than pure 64 bit environment.
