    I believe what Hannah meant was that the cache folder can’t be moved on its own to a different location; since it’s a hidden folder within your root Dropbox folder, it can only be moved with it.

    To move the Dropbox folder to a different drive altogether, you'll need to follow the steps Hannah listed here.
