How to Move Dropbox Folder to a New Location on Mac?

Last Updated :

Moving Dropbox folder to a new location on Mac is easy. To move the Dropbox folder, you can use 'Dropbox Desktop Application'. Once you download the app on your Mac, it creates a folder named 'Dropbox'. You can not change the name of this folder. If you change the name manually or move through your operating system, then it will not sync your Dropbox folder. If it loses track of your Dropbox folder, it will attempt to re-sync the folder.

Following are the steps to Move Dropbox Folder to a New Location on Mac:

  1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/ & sign in to your account.
  2. Download and install "Dropbox Desktop Application" on Mac OS X.
  3. Click "Dropbox" icon from menu bar.
  4. Click "Gear" icon.
  5. Select "Preferences..." from the menu.
  6. Click "Account" tab.
  7. Move the Dropbox folder location by selecting your folder from the drop-down menu labeled Dropbox location.
  8. This is how you can move Dropbox folder to a new location on Mac OS X.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
