Hi all..just purchased a new computer and want everything to go to the H drive including dropbox. Dropbox seems determined to be on the C drive. If I install dropbox on the new computer, it is bigger than the C drive itself and starts to sync immediately bringing over all the files. How do I sync all things at once to get dropbox on the new computer, get the stuff on the H drive and not have everything download to C and cause a disaster?
Thanks for any help.

Hi @intcon; welcome to our Community and thanks for using Dropbox!
In this case, I'd suggest pausing the sync upon installing the desktop app and from there, move the Dropbox folder to the drive you want using these steps.
Let me know if this works Carrie!
