Hey @TasosTsou, thanks for joining our Community and happy Friday!

 

If you're using these steps to move your Dropbox folder, you should also make sure that your external drive is an HFS+ or APFS-formatted hard drive with extended attributes not disabled, since you're on Mac

 

I hope this helps and please keep us posted on your progress.
