How can I move my Dropbox folder to a new desktop?

The desktop on which I had my Dropbox files is not booting. I bought a new desktop and want to move my Dropbox folder to it. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the forum, StuO. 

     

    In this case, you’ll need to install the Dropbox desktop app on your new desktop and let your Dropbox files sync there from your online account. 

     

    Here’s the link to install the Dropbox app (you can also consult this Help Center article for more info). 

     

    Hope this helps!
