Hey shoeb ikhlas, sorry to jump in here.
Have you by any chance tried to mount your partition when your system starts? You could also try delaying the startup of the Dropbox app so that the drive has enough time to mount. First, you'll need to disable the app's option to load at startup and then add your own startup entry for Dropbox but add the X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay parameter and set it to be to the number of seconds you'd like the delay.
Finally, save this under ~/.config/autostart/sleepy-dropbox.desktop
Let us know of any updates!
My drive is premanently mounted (means it automatically mounts as boot). I also tried disabling the auto start option and delaying the start by 15 sec. Nothing is working, it will be working fine as long as i am not restarting the PC. As I reboot my systme, the same error is UP.

shoeb ikhlas, can you please clarify for me if the filepath that’s been blurred out on your screenshot shows the original location of your local Dropbox folder (before you moved it), or if it shows its filepath on your HD drive instead?
