Hi there, @Peter1955, and thanks for reaching out to us.

The default location for the Dropbox folder, when you do a new installation of the Dropbox app, is the C drive.

I'm assuming you previously had the Dropbox folder on a different drive, right?

What's the sync status of the app at the moment? You can see that by hovering over your Dropbox icon.

If syncing is finished and the app is 'up to date', you should be able to move your Dropbox folder back to its previous location, by following these steps.

Let me know how it goes.

I took a different path to solve the problem but appretiate your reply.
