You can fix this with the toolbox extension. It will advise when you launch how to change this setting.</p>

Hi David.</p>
<p>As far as I know for the Sync Method Dropbox Folder to work the local Dropbox Folder MUST be in the default location. If you move it you will need to use the sync method Shared Folder.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/490979192021-03-21T09:51:31Z2021-03-21T09:51:31ZChanging location of Dropbox folder for syncing<div><p>I'm a fellow user.</p>
<p>To put it another way, when you set up syncing in Moneydance, if there is a Dropbox folder in the default location then you will see an option for Dropbox Folder, if the folder is not in the default location then you do not get this option and it is necessary to use the Shared folder option and navigate to the location of the Dropbox folder if Dropbox is the method you wish to use.</p>
<p>As far as I know in the Moneydance Data Set the software will store a pointer to where the folder ls located, irrespective of which of these two methods you use. This is so Moneydance knows where to read and write the data to/from.</p>
<p>You move the folder location Moneydance no longer knows where it is. There is no ability in Moneydance to edit the pointer, the only way is to re-create the syncing relationship, as this is when the pointer gets created.</p></div>dwg
