Moved my "user" folders from C: to D: and my Dropbox location also to D: but Dropbox backup fails
Hi,
I've just moved all my user folders (Documents, Music, Pictures etc..) from the C: drive to D:. I've copied the same path format (eg. C:\Users\smartmove77\Documents is now D:\Users\smartmove77\Documents). I have then changed my dropbox location to the 😧 drive. I have tried to setup the Dropbox Backup function but when I choose all the folders it's showing the following:
Strangely the Pictures directory appears to be accepted but all the others are not. How do I proceed from here?
Many thanks.

Hey smartmove77, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.
Did you move the entire user account over to the D drive or just the specific folder?
Did you quit the Dropbox app and restart your computer at all, to see if that makes any difference?
Keep me posted.
- I didn't move the entire users folder, I just moved the specific documents, music, pictures etc..
I did restart the PC but this didn't help.
Thanks- Rich

Refer to the Why am I experiencing errors while setting up my backup? section on the following page:
