    Thanks for posting on our Community today, adammohq8! Welcome aboard. 

    Can you send me more details on the issue at hand, so that I can help? 

    Do you have an existing Dropbox folder in your D: drive and you can’t relink your Dropbox app to connect to this folder? 

    Feel free to send over any relevant screenshots, as it may help to have a visual.

    I’ll be here when you’re ready.

    Dropbox can only sync the data located in the Dropbox folder. If your Dropbox folder is on your C: drive then you would need to move or copy the data from your D: drive into your Dropbox folder. Dropbox also won't follow symlinks or junctions to access data on other drives.
