Changing the location of my Dropbox folder on Windows 11

Question

Question or Issue

I am trying to change where the dropbox app looks for my files. I had to reset my Win 11 OS and reinstall the DropBox app, so it now points to c:\dropbox, instead of e:\dropbox where my files are actually located. Changing the folder in the desktop app fails because it says there is already stuff in e:\dropbox. There used to be a place in the web page settings that worked to change this, but I cannot find it now.

Hey there, welcome to the community @archer1960

Simply changing the Drive letter to a different location isn't functionality that Dropbox has.

Your best and safest option would probably be to uninstall the Dropbox application, change the drive letter, then reinstall Dropbox being sure to specify the new location in the Advanced Options during the install.
