How can I choose an existing Dropbox folder on my new installation?
I'm a new user and I've installed dropbox now, so I want to specify an existing folder, but I can't choose, always dropbox creates a new folder, in any folder I choose. Is it possible to change so that I can choose my existing folder?

Hey technicare, thanks for reaching out to us.
In this case, what you need to do is choose the "Advanced" setup option during the installation process.
Then you need to choose the parent folder of the existing Dropbox folder as the location for this new install.
For example, if your old Dropbox folder was added to: C:\Desktop\Dropbox you would need to choose C:\Desktop.
Let me know how it goes.
