Hello
I am new to Dropbox and have several requests:
I wish to sync my "My Documents" folder along with a particular desktop folder so I can access both from another computer and phone. However, I often encounter errors when trying to enable selective sync on the desktop.
Additionally, I want to make certain files available only online and remove local copies.

Please note these details:
1. The Dropbox folder has been moved from its original location because I lack sufficient space on the C drive.
2. The default location for the "My Documents" folder has been changed by me, now residing on a different partition than the default C drive.
3. I am using Windows 10.

I have attached a screenshot of the first issue.
Could you help me understand how to proceed? If these options are possible, I appreciate your assistance.

You can opt for OneDrive too - it's already integrated into Windows and offers the tools you need. It provides the same free storage capacity as DropBox.
