Duplicate Dropbox folder on different drive?

I have Dropbox on my C Drive in Windows 10, with only certain folders syncing/available off line.

 

I dont have space on my C Drive for something i want to sync/download. Is it possible to select one Dropbox folder to Sync on a different drive (which has appropriate space)? I dont want to sync ALL of Dropbox, just one specific folder. 

 

Thank you! 

  • Hi Magicmat,

    Dropbox doesn't provide such an option, unfortunately. Everything that Dropbox deals with is in single folder (or subfolders inside). There is no way to set something outside Dropbox folder on the same drive, what to say about to be on different drive. You can move entire Dropbox folder only (either on different place on the same drive or on different drive). 🤷 That's it.
