Can I sync files located on the D: drive to Dropbox?
Good evening, I nerd some help.
I've installed Dropbox on drive C: and I've another disk named D:. I've documents data on disk 😧 but isn't possibile upload data in cloud and synchronize automatically them from this disk.
Is there any solution?
Thanks

Does Boxifier app work with Dropbox? Or does he work on his own?Boxifier is a third-party app that works in conjunction with Dropbox. It allows you to sync folders outside of your local Dropbox folder, which Dropbox doesn't do. Dropbox can only sync the files and folders in the local Dropbox folder. Boxifer will sync folders from other locations directly to your account online.
Hello EttoreC,
While that’s not possible directly with the Dropbox desktop app, it is possible using third party software that integrates with the Dropbox desktop application, like Boxifier (Windows only).
Hope this helps,

If that's not what you're referring to, you'll need to provide more information.

If you're referring to the Backup feature, your key folders need to be in the original locations for Dropbox to be able to back them up.
- Thanks. Why does the app say it can backup files on a removable disk? Isn't it similar to saving data from the second disk D:?
