Change Dropbox folder location on Fedora
I have Dropbox client installed on my Fedora machine, and by default it uses the folder ~/Dropbox for sync so it's located in the /home directory. I want to move the Dropbox folder to ~/Documents/ directory, and if I do it manually then after restarting the daemon it shows an error and it seems like the default destination can't be changed. Man pages did not show any solutions either. Can anyone advise, please?
Hello Hannah,
I've seen this article before but it describes the process for Mac and Windows clients. As far as I understood, for Linux distros (Fedora in my case) there's no GUI client hence those steps don't see applicable to me. I've got only Dropbox daemon running (which I can control via terminal). By the way, please let me know if I got this wrong and perhaps there's another package I should've installed from here: https://linux.dropboxstatic.com/packages/fedora/
Or perhaps there's a GUI version I should install from here: https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux ?
Hi mitja,
Dropbox has GUI and if you system covers all requirements, than you should be able access preferences and change Dropbox folder place from there (just move the folder by hands is not supported on any system, including Linux). Typically you can see Dropbox icon near you system clock or, if there are too many icons there already (from other applications), the icon may appear hidden (check in hidden icons set). 🙋 Preferences may be selected from icon' context menu.
On other side while work in shell only, moving of Dropbox folder is NOT supported at all (only the default place is usable) - Dropbox imperfection (not to say bug). 🤷 That's it.
Hope this clarifies matter.
