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.

Community ManagerHi The Muley and welcome to the Dropbox Community! I’m so glad to hear you were able to get the folder moved successfully and thank you for taking the time to come back and share that update. It’s always great when things work out, and your follow-up could really help someone else trying to do the same thing ✨.
I’m Theresa 👩💻, one of the Community Managers here. Now that your setup is sorted, I’d love to know... do you have a favourite Dropbox feature that helps you manage your files more efficiently across drives or devices?
Looking forward to hearing more,

Theresa, I have actually now left Dropbox for two reasons. The first is the high cost relative to a Canadian service. The second is that because my data was being stored in the U.S., I had concerns about the integrity of Dropbox security. Sorry. Best wishes.
