I need Dropbox files redistributed between two drives, due to the lack of space.

Hey Alain Church, I just sent you an email, so we can continue investigating your issue internally.

Thanks.

That feature does not exist. Dropbox can only sync a single Dropbox folder.

If this is something you wish to see changed, I'd suggest that you create a new post in the Ideas section of the Community, or upvote an existing idea if one already exists.

This is NOT a Solution... !!!
I cannot accept that as an answer, that's just "stating" how this release is working.

Nothing that can solve the issue;

Even with a 2Tb disk...  And one single Dropbox Main Folder ...
that solve nothing.

What is need is two Dropbox instances running side by side of two different Main Folders.

If you dont tell them ...
.... the Dev people will never realize how simple is to implement that!!!

Note: all browsers do exactly that 🤷

( forcing solution down to the throat of Customers .. has never been acceptable )

I contacted the support and received a standard answer:
"Please Rewind back"

I did that...  BUT ... instead of ameliorating
... it completely damaged my Thunderbird Data base...

I lost some FIFTEEN THOUSAND mails ☹

NOTE:
Thunderbird host business/private mails from 1995 in separated mails-folder

but but but . I solved it . but but but

Some a chanced event  happened ... LUCKY ME ...
 my SSD Laptop Disk USB containing Dropbox Folder,
got physically disconnected mid-July without me perceiving it!!!!

When I discovered that  I jumped table high happy and that happened two days ago
SO ... I proceeded this way.

The SSD disk stayed not connected to the Laptop,
but I connected it to BKP-PC USB
>>>because here it's not actively seen by Dropbox's BKP-PC  

Operating from BKP-PC:

> This way I was able to copy OLD LAPTOP  **/Dropbox/Thunderbird under BKP Backup folders 😇

* Copy BKP-PC Current **/Dropbox/  >in BKP Thunderbird disks
* Deleted Current **/Dropbox/Thunderbird  completely cleaning it!!!

Operating from MAIN-PC:
When Later ..  I booted Main-PC and left it working I discovered that after 10 minutes
!!  **/Dropbox/Thunderbird folder WAS not emptied by Dropbox !!!!

Unheartened ... I resolved to act manually:
So I deleted also from MAIN-PC Dropbox: Completely Cleaning _Thunderbird Folder 😰

Then ... connecting via USB the Laptop SSD to Main-PC ...
I was sure Dropbox dont see it also here and coudnt mangle it ..
 From it I copied all _Thunderbird contents into Dropbox Main-PC folder.

After giving it 20 minutes to complete the Dropbox Syncs,
I started Thunderbird..
... and HAPPILY  ALL FOLDERS AND ALL MY OLD E-MAILS WHERE THERE!

Thanks to my luck, while all old mails archives was recovered, 
Dropbox still garbled the situation :-(

These one in red are not part of the LAPTOP-PC Archives :-(

... and Main-PC [T24] Dropbox Thunderbird's folders should have nothing inside remaining after being completely cleaned.

As you see it seems T24 conflicted with itself !! [ MAIN-PC =T24=TwenyFour ]

WHY I'M WRITING HERE?
JUST TO COMPLAINS ?

 N O !

Because:
being unable to use my e-mails System,  I was not able to comunicate with the ticket people!!!

SO THEY CLOSED THAT TICKET !!!
 
BUT  I have to tell them:
The issues are all on the DROPBOX SIDE
...and even REWIND KEEP GARBLING THE ISSUE.

Lucky I was to have an unexpected backup of few weeks.

Last "official backup" was from January, and that would have meant:
 I can recover older mails, and thunderbird would download subsequent mails
BUT
definitively loosing ALL THE SENT MAILS IN THAT PERIOD!!! 

>>LESSON LEARNED<<

A) DO NOT THRUST DROPBOX

B) Restart doing a LOCAL BKP  D A I L Y  ... OLD METHOD

C) ... as you where doing before paying 200€ per year.

If you can /may  please send this as a follow-up to the Ticket-support People!!

I highly recommend you create a new ticket with the support team minus the nonsense and meaningless text because this will not help them resolve your issue(s)

Thanks for the ticket ID, I've gone ahead and prioritized that request to expedite matters on your behalf.

In the meantime, if there's anything else we can assist with, feel free to reply back here.

Thanks Jay

I opened a Ticket referring my report&finding posted here previously.

Thanks for the image, in order to look into this matter in more detail, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate further.

And again something wrong !!!

Hello Jay​ 

Thanks, but I dont need that info.

I've downloaded directly from Dropbox.com the installer

And have already installed it

( may be you've not read my long reply, uh ? )
