I am currently using the Dropbox client, so (a portion of) my Dropbox files are stored in my ~/Dropbox folder. I intend to stop using the Dropbox client, and rely exclusively on the odrive client, so my Dropbox files will move to ~/odrive/Dropbox. I would like to avoid re-syncing all this data, and am wondering what is a good way to achieve that. One possibility is to do the following: Stop syncing for both the Dropbox and odrive clients. Move the data from ~/Dropbox to ~/odrive/Dropbox Setup odrive to sync the Dropbox files to ~/odrive/Dropbox Re-enable odrive sync Uninstall the Dropbox client. Please confirm this would work without requiring re-downloading all the data. If this is not the case, please suggest a better approach.

Migrate data from Dropbox folder to odrive/Dropbox folder
