Notes before you get started
Take these potential issues into consideration when choosing a new location for Dropbox. Consult resources for your operating system if you have further questions.
How to move your Dropbox folder
If you've connected a personal and a work Dropbox, you'll see both of your Dropbox accounts listed. Select the correct tab before moving the Dropbox folder location.
Your Dropbox folder will keep the same name as before, and can't be renamed during the move process. Dropbox will not sync your folder if it has been manually renamed or moved through your operating system. If Dropbox loses track of your folder, it will attempt to re-sync the folder in its entirety using its last known location.
macOS: Manually move the Dropbox folder back to its default location
Windows: Manually move the Dropbox folder back to its default location
I can’t move the Dropbox folder to a new location—what should I do?
If you're moving your Dropbox folder to a new location, you may see errors if any of the following are true:
The new location is on removable media
If you're moving your Dropbox folder, and the selected destination is on removable media (such as a removable USB drive or memory card), Dropbox may not be able to create the Dropbox folder.
We strongly recommend choosing a location on an internal drive. If the Dropbox folder is located on removable media, and this media becomes unavailable, you may see problems including:
There are files or folders in use
Dropbox can’t move some files to a new location if they’re currently being used by other applications. To resolve this issue, close any applications that are accessing files in your Dropbox folder before attempting to create the Dropbox folder in a new location.
Problem with the configuration settingsInstall Dropbox On Mac
You can rebuild your configuration settings by signing out and then back in to the Dropbox account on the Dropbox desktop application. This will restore any settings which may have been changed without affecting or removing your files. Please follow these steps to unlink and relink your computer:
Your account will then take a few moments to re-index your Dropbox folder and sync any pending changes before returning to normal activity.
Your hard drive, or the destination for the Dropbox folder, is low on space
If you weren’t able to move the Dropbox folder to a new location, it's possible that the external drive doesn’t have enough space for all of the data stored in your Dropbox folder. To check whether this is true for you, view your available hard drive space. If your hard drive is very low on disk space, you'll need to make space available in order to properly move the contents of your Dropbox folder to the new location.
You're using symlinks or referenced files
We strongly recommend against methods that add referenced files (symlinks, junction points, or networked folders) to the Dropbox folder. In addition to interfering with creating the Dropbox folder in a new location, reference files can cause high CPU usage, poor syncing performance, permissions issues, and space usage discrepancies.
There are incorrect folder permissions
If you weren’t able to move the Dropbox folder to a new location, you may be encountering a permissions issue. Specifically:
