Can't move dropbox file location.
Instructions to move dropbox file location don't work. There is no "click sync then click move" option under the dropbox tray gear icon on Windows 10. I need to get the default location which is on ...
Thank you so much. It worked great but the instructions on the dropbox website (pasted below) are wrong. It says for Windows, to select the gear icon first, then sync. I'm sure you knew what they were trying to say but we old engineers tend to be very literal. Thanks again.
- Click the Dropbox icon in the system tray or menu bar.
- Click Preferences (Linux), or the gear icon (macOS and Windows)
- Click Sync (on macOS you’ll first need to click Preferences…).

Super User IIThe instructions are accurate, even on Windows 10.
Click the Dropbox icon in your system tray. The app window will open. In the top-right corner you'll see either the gear or your avatar icon. Click that and select Preferences. Alternatively, you can CTRL-left click the Dropbox icon in the system tray and select Preferences (this is the legacy menu).
Once you have Preferences open, select the Sync tab and you'll see a section labeled Dropbox folder location. Click the Move button to select a new location for the Dropbox folder.
This message isn't about moving files it's about moving folders. I have a mac. I just want to move a file from one folder to the other. If I try to copy and paste, it jsut makes another copy in the orginal folder that i want to move from! There's no drag or drop. I even tried moving it back to finder and then moving it back to the right folder and it keeps going to the wrong one!
Just wondering if you found a solution? I have the same problem, I can't move files or folders with dropbox, they duplicate.
