Cant start dropbox.
I have tried reinstall.
I made "icaclis /grand user.." for
A:\Dropbox
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox
C:\\Users\user\AppData\Local\Dropbox
It has no effect. The log:

Hi @DeeZ,
What is "A:\Dropbox"? Are you trying place Dropbox folder to floppydisc (A: and B: are reserved for floppy)?!
I guess here's a typing error.
Anyway, Dropbox application looks for Dropbox directory in "C:\Users\user\Dropbox"! If you want to move Dropbox folder to another place use "Move.." button in Sync tab on Preferences, not just 'raw' folder move. Make sure you have proper permission on the place where Dropbox expect Dropbox directory to (wherever is this place).
Hope this gives some direction.
There is no any reservation. It is regular separate disk with Dropbox folder.

I have selected a:\dropbox after installing
There isn't way we can confirm what exactly you have selected at install moment, but "dropbox_path:" in your initial post shows something else.
oh, yes. You are right.
"C:\Users\user\Dropbox" is synlink to "a:\dropbox"
This setup worked before.
Thanks.
The symbolic links aren't more supported!!!
