Handling a folder differently in multiple computers
Hello,
I would like to have a folder placed in a computer, uploaded from that computer into dropbox as it is usually done, but only available to other computers through dropbox without downloading ...
Hey Paulo Martins, sorry to jump in here!
In order to accomplish this, you'll need to allow those folders to sync to the other computers at first, but once that's done, you can go through your selective sync settings and remove them.
This is a computer specific setting, so it needs to be changed on each computer individually.
That way, they'll be removed from the computers in question and you'll be able to access them only from dropbox.com.
I hope this helps!
Hello Nancy
Many thanks for answering.
In my main computer I would like to have folders both in the computer and sync with dropbox
While in my other computer I would like to have access to these same folders but only via dropbox.com.
How can I do this?
