How can I move my Dropbox folder to an external drive on Mac OS?

I don't have enough space at my Mac, so I wish to sync Dropbox into my external HDD, but as I saw, there is no way to change the folder on the app.

What's the solution?

desktop
Mac
Setting up the apps
Storage space
sync

    Hi LuisIsoldi, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you confirm what version of the Dropbox desktop application and Mac OS you're running?

     

    What is the current location for the Dropbox folder on your machine?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
