Set it so that the location is D:\Users\XXX\Dropbox and move all the files over (might take some time if there's lots of files in your Dropbox already).Ģ) Now open Windows file explorer, navigate to your Desktop folder, right-click on it and select Properties. Go to the Sync tab and under 'Dropbox folder location' click Move.
folders INTO the Dropbox folder, you can do this manually through the Windows file explorer instead (not sure about the process for other platforms) to achieve the same effect, rather than Dropbox not being able to recognise the folders unless they are in the default location.ġ) First, move your Dropbox folder onto the D drive if it's not already - click on the Dropbox application icon in the taskbar right-hand corner, click your profile picture and select Preferences. Since all that the Dropbox backup feature does is actually move your desktop/documents/downloads etc. Late reply to this, but I just discovered this thread after facing exactly the same issue myself and thought this might help you and/or others in the future: unless they have a death wish, of course. anyone these days with a pc or laptop, which can use a second drive WILL move their folders off the boot drive.
FILE AND FOLDER BACKUP SOFTWARE
This bit of software cant even backup if the files are not where DropBox programmers have decided they must be. This is sloppy programming! I was using Glacier from Synology (which is FREE BTW) and i just point it at my folders and BOOM! backed up. The repair option will move the folders back to C: and I DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN - EVER!Īnd because of this, the backup funtion won't work.
IE C:\user\XXXX\Folderĭuh! Of course they ain't! And I dont want them there EVER! It won't run because folders are not in default location. Installed upgraded dropbox with 1 year free gratis 100gb storage. Path D:\Users\XXXX(name of user)\folder(music, documents, videos etc) Moved location of ALL my folders (public and private) to 2nd drive.
