Hi @Adolfo Hernandez, thanks for reaching out to us. 

 

In this case, you can simply move the folder outside of your Dropbox folder to another location on your hard drive. 

 

If you have any trouble along the way or you have any other questions, don't hesitate to give us another nudge. 

 

Thanks again!
