error moving dropbox

Hello guys!

I'm having a lot of trouble with my Dropbox account since yesterday (with my personal account).

Something changed with my Work Account, I don't manage that one... a studio with whom I worked once is the admin. They got me out, they added me again.. and now nothing syncs.

I uninstalled Dropbox and installed again. But now I can't specify the folder.. Like a lot of people I use my Dropbox Folder on another Hard Drive..

When I try to move, it says some files are in use, error, etc.. sometimes even Dropbox crashes and quits.

Please Help.. I'm in the middle of some projects and can't sync.. it's TOTAL CAOS for me.

Hey there faculabo  - sorry to hear about this.

Kindly note that I moved your post under this thread so as to ping you my previous suggestions since you're having the same issue with the OP.

Could you take a look and let me know how it goes? 

Thanks Walter! This little trick did the job :)

So, I just needed to click on the Advanced Settings!! I never ever saw it..

I recommend making this more obvious for future releases..

Anyways.. My bad!! Thanks for the quick reply..

BACK TO WORK! LOL

Glad to hear this worked out well for you faculabo - I appreciate you taking the time to submit your feedback as well; I'll make sure to pass your comments on to our product team.

Have a lovely day in the meantime and should you ever come up with a Dropbox question or issue, don't hesitate to let us know; we're always a post away!

Hello again Walter Now my Dropbox says: "Connecting..."

And is stuck there! HAHAHA.. god, what a day :)

Thanks for the update and sorry to hear that faculabo. 

I guess you've rebooted your computer already so can you please check if this is caused by an antivirus, firewall or even a proxy/VPN setting on your computer?

If that's not the case, please let me know. 

I am having same erro since yesterday. I have unlinked and relinked, I have formated my PC, but unfortunatly none works. I had these issues since I had to reset my PC for other reasons.

I am using Dropbox on first computer and now I installet the same Dropbox account to another computer. I wanted to move it from C: drive do my D: data drive using Dropbox Preferences dialog box. I have problem and got the message: 'Error moving Dropbox - Some files can't be moved. Please select a new location or close some open files and try again.'

Thank You in advance!

Sorry to hear about this Aboqusai. 

Just to make sure we're on the same page, could you forward me a screenshot of the problem as it's manifested on your end so I can have a further look into this for you? 

Thanks!
