How can I back up files from another drive onto my account?

Greetings.
I purchased Dropbox cloud storage in order to back up my business material in the cloud.
I installed Dropbox, but it only installs on hard disk C and does not recognize hard disk D to back up files from.
I would be happy to receive a solution on how to back up files that are on a different hard disk than the installation disk.
My professional material is on the different disk and I have no option to move it to disk C due to lack of storage space.

    Hi ckroizer, thanks for messaging us today!

     

    Are you asking to specifically back up another drive on your machine, or do you want to move the Dropbox folder to another drive entirely?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      Hello,

      Apart from the regular drive, I would like to specifically back up another drive on my computer

      Thanks.

        Thanks for the info, currently this isn't possible using the Dropbox Backup feature, as this only works for external drives.

         

        There may be some other third party app or service that can help integrate this via the Dropbox API.
