Thanks Hanna for you Q, Dropbox prompted me to put the folder in another location after i tried to open it from the programs window down below.
I saw in preferences in sync where is the actual location sync and its the new location and now i think drobox is moving everything to the new location what i didn't want...

    I see, thanks for the clarification, Assaf.

    Since that's the case, I would suggest allowing the app to finish syncing first, before you move the Dropbox folder back to its original location.

    Not sure why the app would prompt you to move the Dropbox folder in the first place, though.

    Do you remember what it said or grabbed a screenshot of the prompt?

    Did it perhaps mention some kind of update?
