This folder already contains a Dropbox directory. (Dropbox 3.03 on Fedora 21 (x64)
Is this some kind of a joke? I keep my dropbox folder on a separate partition to simply redirect the dropbox daemon to that location and not have to go through the whole download process all over aga...
- Uninstall Dropbox if it's installed. Rename your existing Dropbox folder to Dropbox_OLD or similar. Reinstall Dropbox and select the location that you want for the Dropbox folder. Keep in mind that external drives are NOT recommended as data loss can occur under the right conditions. When the installation is finished, Dropbox will immediately start to sync. Pause syncing or exit Dropbox. Move the content of Dropbox_OLD into the newly created Dropbox folder. When the move is complete, and not before, resume syncing or re-launch Dropbox.
At this point Dropbox will begin indexing all of your files. This process will take a while, especially with 700GB of data to go through. During this time it may say that files are uploading or downloading, but it's only transferring comparison data and any changes that it find. be patient and LET IT WORK.
Similar - if same - problem. New installation of Windows 10 on primary partition/drive. Secondary drive/partition is where both my personal and work dropbox files are. Installed Dropbox. Couldn't select folder on different partition so decided to selectively sync nothing for now and change in settings later on. Linked to work dropbox account. Changed work dropbox folder to one on secondary. When I tried to do the same for my personal, it gave me the error that there's a dropbox folder already. I tried turning off select sync, I tried unlinked and relinking account - to no avail. In the end, I just decided to resync everything. Rather inconvenient given how much I had to sync... this must be fixed.
