Accessing Dropbox both from Apple OS and Windows partitioned drive

HI,

 

Current configuration:

 

MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1 on 3,3 GHz Intel Core i5 and Windows 10 with BootCamp.

Dropbox installed on Sonoma, working perfectly well.

Today I partitioned the Macintosh HD with Disk Utility app creating an exFAT partition for common files to be accessed from both operative systems.

 

Question: 

 

1. Is it possible to uninstall Dropbox and then reinstall it in the new exFAT partition in such a way that it can be both accessed and synchronised irrespective of which operative system is being used ? Since the machine has two separate operating systems installed with BootCamp unlike in Parallels there is no question of clash between files being synchronised.

2. The 3 free Dropbox installations have already been exhausted. 

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.
