On MacOS if home dir is on external disk will Dropbox folder be there too?

Question

I am considering getting a new Mac Mini M4 with a smallish root disk. It is possible to put ones home directory on an external disk. This will allow me to place large space hogs like Photos and Music onto cheaper space. However, will the other space hog, Dropbox be there or will the $HOME/CloudStorage/Dropbox directory still be on /?
