What is Pydropboxpath?
As it is now, the dropbox program does not let you move your Dropbox sync folder (My Dropbox in windows) to removable drives, or change the name of the folder to what you want. For the former, it has a good reason (if you yank the drive with the program running, dropbox can think that you deleted all the files), for the latter, not really. This is one of the developers explanation about that option being disabled.
As a workaround for power users, this script will let you change the name, or even move your Dropbox folder to anywhere you want, provided that you do read this and know the possible outcomes :) Tested on Ubuntu Jaunty and Windows. Others tested on OSX and told me it was OK too :)
