Move Dropbox from C:// drive to D:// drive.
In order o work more comfortably,
I would like to release C:// drive from Dropbox sync and instead starting using drive D://.
Which the process path ?
1/ Unsync
2/ Uninstall DB
3/ Reinstall DB
4/ Resync
Or there is another settings in the Dropbox tool I can modify to point into the D:// drive.
Thx in advance.

Rename the Dropbox folder on your D drive to Dropbox_OLD or similar, then start the process over again. Don't delete either Dropbox folder until the process is done and you're sure that all of your files are in the correct location.
Hi Megan,
Thank you for your feedback.
Actually it works fine, at least it started copying the content from C:// to D:// properly. Unfortunately the copy was taking hours and, at a certain point of time, the PC felt asleep or turned on Stdand-by or the connection was disrupted at about 50% of the transfer process time.
The challenge is that I am (Dropbox is) till using the old C://user/xxx/ drive as reference ... and I already modified & add a couple of files since the hold/stop event. :-S
Last night, I tried to re-launched the same process (Dropbox App> Account> Preferences> Sync>Move ... but this time I am receiving an error message "This folder already contains a Dropbox directory" ... 😕
But the things is that D:// is not fully filled with content... I can only find the folders and few files "not in sync".
Question: How I can re-start/complete the transfer operation?
Thx
