    Oh no! Ok, for the 404 error, could you please try switching browsers?

    If the issue persists, for now, I will provide you the steps here below.

    For Windows:

    1. Click the Dropbox icon from your system tray.

     
    2. Click the gear icon.
    3. Click Preferences…
    4. Click Account.
    5. Click Move…
    6. Select the new location for your Dropbox folder.
    7. Let Dropbox move your folder and its contents to the new location.
     
    Please note that your Dropbox folder will keep the same name as before, and can't be changed by using the move feature. Dropbox will not sync your Dropbox folder if it has been manually renamed or moved through your operating system. If Dropbox loses track of your Dropbox folder, it will attempt to re-sync the folder in its entirety using its last known location.
     
    For Mac:
     
    1. Click the Dropbox icon from your menu bar.
     
     
    2. Click the gear icon.
    3. Click Preferences…
    4. Click Account.
    5. Click the Dropbox location dropdown.
    6. Choose a new location for your Dropbox.
    7. Let Dropbox move your folder and its contents to the new location.
     
    I hope this helps!
     
    Thanks,
    Vivian
