It's possible change the default folder of dropbox to another folder?
Hello guys, I'd like to know if it's possible to change the dropbox default folder (~/Dropbox) to another folder? For exemple, change the folder ~/Dropbox for /mnt/another/path, understand?
PS: I NEED do this via command line.
Any help and tips are welcome.
Thanks in advanced!!
- Looking at a few other posts from Dropboxers in the past, there is no method to move the Dropbox folder from the command line.

You can move the Dropbox folder to another location (though I don't know if it's possible via command line) but the folder itself will always be called Dropbox.Yeah, I found a way to do this via interface(https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/89), is easy, but as I said, I need do this via command line for the following reason: I should do this in another computer, in our local network, that I access via SSH protocol, I already installed the dropbox and logged in my dropbox account from this another computer via ssh protocol, but still missing make this little change.
Well even so,thanks very much for your time!
Any helps is welcome,folks!
