Hi Deb918, welcome to our Community!
If you wish to change the path of your Dropbox folder, all you'd have to do is access the app's preferences (just like you did on the screenshot you sent me).
You can see that next to the Dropbox folder location it gives you the option to change its location.
That should do the trick. Want to give it a go, and let me know how it goes?
Thanks!

Hi, I know this is an older thread but tried exactly that (twice) and it has failed twice. I get a message saying that some files can't be moved (but it doesn't say what) and that I need to try again.
My C: drive is getting too full and I need to clear out some space but my F: drive is wonderfully empty.
When I try to move it it starts copying the files and seems to stall out after about 104GB when saved space is about 312GB. Are there log files somewhere I can access to see what files are causing the issues?
