Problem

I'm using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) for dev purposes and am trying to access my Windows-installed Dropbox folder. Dropbox is installed on my C:/ drive but I don't know how to get to it from the Ubuntu prompt. ls ~ returns with nothing so I'm not exactly sure where it would be.

Solution

All Windows drives will be mounted (read: available) in WSL's /mnt directory. So the c drive will be available at /mnt/c and the f drive will be available at /mnt/f.

A typical Dropbox install will go to C:/Users/USERNAME/Dropbox so you should be able to access it via WSL with cd /mnt/c/Users/USERNAME/Dropbox
