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.
Same old issue. Why oh why can I not UNLINK a Dropbox folder, log back in and be asked WHERE DO YOU WANT YOUR DROPBOX FOLDER? (yes, SHOUT because you guys seems to be DEAF)
Then, if there is already a Dropbox folder at the specified place, ask "DO YOU WANT TO USE THIS DROPBOX FOLDER?" Then I can say "yes" and everything is sweet. But right now this problem has been ongoing and ignored for years. dudes... pull your collective corporate finger out. Pleeeease.
