I want to move my DropBox folder from SSD disk to HDD, but i cant do it cause of the problem called "Could not move some files. Choose a different location or close open files and then try again.", but this folder is empty and all files are deleted already.
Ive just installed the Windows 10 and downloaded DropBox app.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey there @Art1st - sorry to hear that.
If this is not too much trouble for you, could you perform a clean, advanced re-install and then use the steps outlined in the Help Center article below to move your Dropbox Folder?
Additionally, you should ensure that the file system of the external drive meets the file system requirements. Those can be found in the following Help Center article:
https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/system-requirements
I'd strongly recommend choosing a location on the same hard drive as your operating system as our desktop app won't work correctly should the Dropbox folder ever become inaccessible.
Let me know how this goes!
