Problem backing up downloads folder
I upgraded my hard drive to an SSD drive earlier this year and apparently I never set up the backup for the downloads, documents and desktop. I just went to do so and when I click setup I get an erro...
So moving the downloads and desktop folders to the 😧 drive where the Dropbox folder is currently loicated wouldn't work? They would then be on the same drive.
This is what I found for moving the downloads folder and would be the same for the desktop folder, then they would be on the same drive as DB.

Dropbox StaffYes, in order to setup the computer backup, both the Dropbox folder and the Documents, Downloads, Desktop folders would need to be on the C drive. They'd also need to remain there permanently.
Moving the Dropbox folder back to the C drive isn't the issue, since it can be done in the desktop app settings, although it sounds like you'd experience issues in the future with the space on that drive in general (since there isn't much space left on that disk afterwards).
