Link Dropbox folder to Root folder (without \Dropbox subfolder)

eliaska

Operating system Windows 10:

What I want is Dropbox to sync to "X:\"

But if i change the folder it always automatically extends the folder name to "X:\Dropbox". Changing all appearances of that in the registry only breaks the installation.

So is that somehow possible?

Hey there @eliaska - how are you today?

What you describe is actually normal and expected - you can't have a Dropbox Folder (your in this case) named after a drive's letter. The default Dropbox Folder that is created when you first install our software is just like any other folder on your hard drive, but with syncing features - it's not a network drive.  

Additionally, you should ensure that the file system of the drive you'll be using meets the file system requirements. Those can be found in this Help Center article. 

I hope this helps to some extent and please let me know if you have any further questions.
