Apple Migration Assistant with Dropbox
I have used Apple's Migration Assistant to move all my content from one Mac to a new Mac. I keep all of my Dropbox files on my computer, so all my Dropbox files are transferred to the new Mac. Now Dropbox is creating a new Dropbox folder and downloading all of my files.
How should I best handle this?

Now Dropbox is creating a new Dropbox folder and downloading all of my files.
Did you tell Dropbox when setting up the install to use the already created directory? You usually need to do this via the Advanced Install menu options.
Unfortunately, no. I didn't know advanced install was a option, and Dropbox automatically renamed my existing Dropbox folder and created a new folder. It took much of the night, but I have a second Dropbox folder now. Any suggestions on the best way to proceed now that I have two folders?
