How can I sync my Mac to an external drive?

Question

Hi,

I have been a Dropbox subscriber for over 10 years.

Recently Drops box has forced me to Sync to the internal SSD of my laptop. I have insufficient space on my internal SSD and need to sync to an external drive.

I use Lightroom and making files offline is not a solution for me.

How can I revert Dropbox to sync to an external drive, currently Dropbox tells me this version of macOS requires folders to be stored in ../Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox.

My account is up for yearly renewal next week. If I can solve this then sad to say I will be leaving you...

Creative Cloud Lightroom, Google Drive and OneDrive do not have such an arbitrary limitation, I have tested them.

Hope there is a solution other than abandon ship.

KInd Regards

Stu
