Mac OS Backup User Folder
Has anyone tried backing up their entire Mac user folder, not just desktop / documents / downloads?
Hope someone can share their experience of this. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Hi Jo G.6,
Take care what you ever wish! Better don't even try that!!! Dropbox application (and most others cloud apps) are not designed to work in such a mode and can (or almost mandatory will) send you in lot of troubles. If you want do it, better find and use some third party app designed in such a way that can do your task in a safe manner (or do something yourself if you have some programing experience).
Good luck.
Thanks for your help. Do you have a sync app you can recommend?

Jo G.6 Unfortunately I can't be helpful to you as when I need something similar I do it myself. 🤷
Maybe it's time to write your first script code. 🙋 There is always a first time!
PS: One example script, targeting just getting shared link(s), can be seen here. 😉 You can start play (and extend according your needs, of course) with it.
