This folder already contains a Dropbox directory. (Dropbox 3.03 on Fedora 21 (x64)

[Nathanel T.]

Is this some kind of a joke? I keep my dropbox folder on a separate partition to simply redirect the dropbox daemon to that location and not have to go through the whole download process all over again. Now, after a fresh install of Fedora 21, installing this new version of dropbox prevents me from pointing it to the previously installed location stating 'This folder already contains a Dropbox directory.'.... THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW!

"Hi Nathanel, This is a known issue that we are working on fixing. Can you download 2.10.52 for now?" 

And 3 !! years later. You are what ? Still working on it ? With the millions you make per month with all your users you are still working on it ? You want us to buy you a keyboard and pay for a programmer maybe ?

Kind of disappointed as well to see that the issue is still present. Reinstalled fedora and cannot get Dropbox to bypass this problem for the life of me.

You guys really need to get this figured out asap.
