So the only option for me is to move Dropbox back to C\:?
Why is moving Dropbox to a different drive even an option?

The backup feature is just another feature of the Dropbox app, but you don't need it to sync files to your Dropbox account.
The main usability of the Dropbox folder is to sync the files you add in it to your Dropbox account, so if, for example, you have too much data in it, you might want to move the Dropbox folder to a different location that might have more available space.
I hope this clarifies things, but let me know if you still have questions.
