    Hi there Colin9, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

     

    You shouldn't have to go through this process as there's a feature which would help you achieve what you had in mind. It's called selective sync and you can find out all about it here. 

     

    You could also change your account's file or folder structure through the website and then install the desktop app on your new computer and let it sync your changes until it's up to date in your system tray. 

     

    I hope this helps!
