Is there a way to install Dropbox, on a Windows machine, onto a drive letter other than C?
I am running out of disk space on C; however, I have tons of space on my
\ drive (more than 30 GB) and E
drive (more than 310 GB).
I haven't found any recent articles and am concerned that Dropbox has gotten short-sighted with the flexibility of where to install the application or have a user's data stored and synced.
The application doesn't seem to be stable on my system, but my system does appear to be stable. By this I mean the dropbox icon in the system tray will not remain visible, accessible into Preferences and so on.
Please help, I need to get my data back.
Solved! Go to Solution.
The application itself, which is generally small, will always install to your C: drive on Windows, but you can specify another location for the Dropbox folder that contains your data.

Thanks Rich, that does work.
