I have been unable to sync DropBox folder to an external drive.
I have an NVMe drive and a 4tb external and the limited
interface of Dropbox does not display my other drives
when I go to change prefences.
I am using MXLinux and Mint
Any suggestions would be appreciated

The problem is the interface, not allowing me to access my external drive via the
limited DropBox finder interface. So, I need a work-around for that problem.
It works if I put it on my local drive, but I only have 1TB and my DropBox is close
to 1.5 TB now, so I need to use my external drive. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm also having this issue, external drives (sata SSD) are mounted, but Dropbox only gives option for '/' directory and not '/sda1/'. Ubuntu 20.04.
EDIT: Solved this issue for my case. I changed the mount point of the other SSD to be within '/'.
I have had no luck using DropBox with additional drives with Linux Mint, MX Linux or Parrot,
but I have installed pCloud and it works great. Give it a try
