Thank you.
In order for those three backed up folders to sync, always be the same, on the two computers, do I select the computer backup feature on both computers?
And is there an easy way to make sure the two computers are \"Connected computers\"?
Yes, within the Dropbox folders all the data appears to be identical.
Thanks again.
