    The desktop app hasn't been discontinued; just the portion of it that allowed you to manage your files within the app. The app itself still very much exists and is accessible as it always has been. You'll see the Dropbox icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac). Click it to get the Dropbox menu, or right-click it for the legacy menu (easier to access Preferences). Once in Preferences, you'll find the option to move the Dropbox folder on the Sync tab.
