Can't Move the Dropbox Folder to Ext4 or NTFS partition
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. In response to the change in dropbox file system support, I created a new partition on my hard drive to store my dropbox files in. It's 2 GB larger than my maximum dropbox...
Take a look at https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Error-messages/Ubuntu-16-04-Error-moving-files-to-new-ext4-location/m-p/304087#M17994
Basically, use a subfolder of the new ext4 partition as target for dropbox. It worked for me.

I'm using LinuxMint 17.3. After installing the app using
sudo apt-get install dropbox
(or from the .deb downloaded from Dropbox), I tried the solution in this forum
https://superuser.com/questions/575550/how-do-i-change-the-dropbox-directory-on-a-headless-gnu-linux-server
I only changed the path and the .py like this:
HOME=/media/familia/DropboxDrive dropbox start -i
Where "familia" is my user name, and DropboxDrive is an NTFS partition I created in Windows (I have dual Boot). I think it would work even ir the partiton is created using "Disks" utility from LinuxMint or Ubuntu.
I had to do that so Dropbox does not sync my folders inside my HOME folder by default. This way it starts syncing in the path I want to.
