Moving Dropbox to a new PC from an old one where the Dropbox folder is on an external USB drive
Hello, I have received a new PC. I want to move Dropbox to the new PC from the old PC. The Old PC has the Dropbox folder on a USB3 external drive and syncs all files and folders locally.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Al
Yes, just make sure to select the correct path when setting it up hornedfrog
Or, you can let the app create a new Dropbox folder to another location upon installing it if you wish.

Hi there hornedfrog - thanks for posting on our Community!
Why don't you just download and install the Dropbox desktop app on your new computer and choose your syncing preferences upon installation?
Let me know if I'm missing something here, Al.
- Thank you for the reply. So just install the app on the new computer and select the external dropbox folder on the old external USB Drive and it will sync to that on the new computer?
