I had exactly the same issue with trying to move Dropbox to a new drive in my computer. After reading this post, I opted to uninstall and reinstall Dropbox. During that process, I switched from the default folder to my new drive (D:). Dropbox had previously (in my first failed attempt) created a Dropbox folder in this location but the install routine automatically renamed it to dropbox-old and then correctly installed dropbox in the desired location. Problem solved, I guess.
