How can I link my existing paired Dropbox folders to the Dropbox app after reinstalling?
Hi
I have two accounts - personal and work. The two dropbox folders are in the same folder and they are called: C:\xxxx\Dropbox (personal)
C:\xxxx\Dropbox (work)
My dropbox installation ha...
I have managed to make my personal account work by using the copy-paste approach described above.
Still want to sort out my work dropbox account. I have an existing folder with all my files in it, which is:
C:\users\...\Dropbox (work)
However, when reinstalled dropbox and signed in, i gave it the parent directory - as directed - so:
C;\users\...\
but instead of grabbing my existing folder, dropbox created a new folder with the name:
C:\users\...\work dropbox
Now, I don't know what to do. I'd rather not copy over all files to this new one which has a different naming format, but I can't see how to direct dropbox to the correct folder.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey joelmackay, just to confirm, the old "C:\users\...\Dropbox (work)" folder no longer syncs, correct?
If that's the case, I believe you should be okay to pause syncing, copy only the contents of the "C:\users\...\Dropbox (work)" to the "C:\users\...\work Dropbox" one and then resume syncing.
