You will either have to uninstall Dropbox and Google Drive and reinstall them in drive D...or set the programmes to store the files in in drive D...this may be done in the settings of the software...I do not use any of these programmes but these are common rules....If you cant redirect you files to D drive within the software you will have to reinstall in D drive...

Thanks BG

Paragraph 2 says delete the existing google drive folder, then in pars 7 you can now delete the old folder.

Confused. :scratch:

Its showing in raid (D) and it's starting to populate. :thumbleft:

Is there one for Dropbox next. :roll:

I assume I can just delete the fold in (C) later, or do I need to un-install it from (C).

That work brilliantly BG freed up 25Gb on drive (C) Now sync to a computer in Herts somewhere.

Been looking at the Dropbox, it looks as though I can do exactly the same. :thumbright:

The DB is sync to Nottingham and Herts and you wont believe the sh*t coming my way if I mess up :roll:
