How can I move my Dropbox folder to another hard drive?
I need to move Dropbox from my C to my D Drive because my C Drive is running out of space. I looked up the instructions on the Help pages, but they are absolutely worthless. They say that I need to...
My problem has been solved. The problem was that there was no useable Dropbox icon in the system tray at all--just a link to the Win Explore Dropbox folder. My solution was to completely uninstall Dropbox and then re-install from scratch. Voila, there is a different Dropbox icon in the sys tray. Now I can click on it and get a small settings window that enables me to move Dropbox to another drive.
I have exactly the same problem The Dropbox icon in the system tray is just a link to a Win 11 Explorer page featuring the Dropbox directory. There is no avatar, no initials. The only place such things appear is on Dropbox.com. When I clicked on the the initials on Dropbox.com there were no instructions germane to moving the Dropbox directory to another drive. Please help us.

The Dropbox icon in the system tray is just a link to a Win 11 Explorer page featuring the Dropbox directory.
Make sure you're clicking the correct icon. It's the one in your system tray, not your task bar.
If you single-click this icon, you'll get the Dropbox menu. If you double-click, it will open the Dropbox folder in Explorer.
To get to the option for moving the Dropbox folder, single-click that icon, then in the window that appears you'll see your initials or avatar in the bottom-left corner.
Click that, select Preferences, then the Sync tab, and you'll find the option to change the Dropbox location at the bottom of the window.
