Dropbox StaffHi RyanScammell, thanks for contacting us.
While it isn't possible to split your Dropbox folder across two separate drives or locations, there is a workaround using normal Dropbox features to do this.
It could be possible to use a different computer profile on your machine and sign into the same Dropbox account. During the set up of your account, you can choose another location for the Dropbox folder, such as the D: drive, and use selective sync to only allow certain folders to sync to that folder.
On your original computer profile, you could use selective sync to deselect the folders you don't want to appear on your C: drive.
Bear in mind that files will only sync while the computer profile is logged in, and any new folders created in the root of your Dropbox folder would sync automatically to both profiles. While this isn't an official method, it can be used if it is necessary for your requirements.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
