I changed my Dropbox location but now Dropbox is not syncing
My Mac does not have enough space for all the files I use for work so I bought a 2T external hard drive to use as my “computer memory”. I have changed my Dropbox location to put all the files there, ...
Hannah,
I have a LaCie 2T external hard drive that I'm using. I went to my little dropbox icon at the upper right of my Mac computer, selected preferences, then went to sync. Scrolled down to Dropbox folder location. Clicked Change Location then selected my LaCie external hard drive. Told it what to sync and it did it's thing. I have been using that all week and when I went to look at something from my cell phone dropbox it was not there. (everything I did this week was not synced to my dropbox online). I want the hard drive because my computer does not have enough memory for what I'm doing. I just got this computer directly from Apple last November. It was the highest memory I could get.
If I'm not able to use the external hard drive like I would my computer memory then I will need figure something else out.
Please help!

What's the current sync status of the Dropbox app?
You can see that along with the app version, by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.
