Install dropbox program to different drive
Is there a way to choose your own installation location for the dropbox program? My OS drive will otherwise drown (seems like 60Gb is not enough for only windowss 7). Or do I need to switch to a diff...
Thank you for your clear response.
If I could afford a larger SSD drive to run off, that would be great :-) ... but that's not an option sadly :-(
I sincerely hope the dev team take this on board. It's an ongoing frustration and as far (as my research shows) an unnecessary restriction that is, looking at the many posts about this very subject for both Dropbox and Chrome, winding up a lot of customers.
Cheers
Some what connected to my prior post is the issue of an initial install. My desktop system was configured with a 250G C drive which is basically used for OS and application software installs. The D drive has 500G which is used for user data even to the extent of movie the OS files for that to the D drive. When you do the initial install, it does not even prompt you for a drive or directory location. It immediately starts loading it to the C drive even when it would not all fit on that drive. So like nearly all other software in the world, the install process should prompt you for a location (showing the default). Its clear you have a link path and hold on to that location. My new system is going to have a will have a SSD drive for OS and app exec's only and the D drive will be the 1-2 T drive. improves performance for the OS related activities and no place to write user folders.
