You can also remove DropBox from the StartUp Apps (Windows) or LogIn Items (Mac) if you need to reboot and sort your directories before DropBox takes control of its directory system. You can both pause syncing and quit DropBox so that it stops accessing the directory and preventing the movement of files. The big difference in our experiences was that I paused syncing before I changed and double checked the directory. I even did the same google search you did to figure out how to change the DropBox directory. He had enough DropBox space to pull down everything, but not enough hard drive space. A friend needed a truly vast amount of data (raw video) pulled down from DropBox, and manual download was failing, as the files can’t exceed 2GB that way. I was literally in the same boat a few weeks ago. I am synching, you have 4,000 files, please wait.Īnd this is why there is no snippet this morning. Why in the name of the bloody nine hells can’t I f***ing change the f***ing install path. You need to relink your account.ĭropbox: Good news, I’ve installed myself to your C drive.
I just want to access the file to get a snippet.ĭocuments: None of your files are accessible. Me: For the love of… Where is it? It’s not in the C drive still, is it? Where did I install Dropbox? Dropbox, move yourself.ĭropbox: Where shall I move the files, Dread Mistress? Ok, done.ĭad: What are you doing on your computer? Do you need help? You have 4,000 documents.ĭropbox: Synching.
Dropbox, do this.ĭropbox: I am still syncing. Me: Okay, so I open Dropbox app, click on the settings, properties, click on move, then tell it where to go. The computer has a dual drive, C for the operating system and D with much larger capacity for everything else. We changed computers – ours were old – and I had to reinstall the Dropbox to get all of our documents.
