Hey MChat1, I'd be happy to help with that!
Based on what you described, it sounds like you're part of a Business Team, am I right on this?
Now, keep in mind that even if this is the case, and even if you're just a member in this Team, then that wouldn't stop you from having your desktop app, wherever you want to.
With that being said, we don't advise that you move your content on an external hard drive. You can read more about this here, and also see the steps to do it here.
If you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks, but that doesn't work. Because I'm not the admin, whenever I hover over my dropbox icon in my menu bar, it only shows the avatars of team members, and when I click on my initials, it just shows the name of our company. I cannot get to preferrences.

Since I'm not the admin, I can't get to preferences. I'd like to simply remove the dropbox desktop files that I don't want and leave the folders that I need on there. Please tell me how I can do that because my C drive is now full and I can't do anything at all!
