    Hi James,

    Unfortunately, moving your Dropbox folder when using the CLI version of the Dropbox desktop client isn't currently available.

    You can still use symlinks to store it in a different location, but Dropbox wouldn't be able to help with these steps or supporting any issues related to it. Apologies for any inconveniences this may have caused.
