SYNC specific folder from network to dropbox
I need to SYNC a folder off my local network TO my DropBox account. All instructions I've found for BACKING UP only involve a limited number of folders, and NOT a network folder I'm needing to Sync.
Hi acannon420
Such functionality doesnt exist I'm afraid. Sorry.
You'll need to manually copy the folder in to your local Dropbox folder each time you want a backup.

Hi acannon420,
No there is NOT a limited number of folders, there's only one folder - the Dropbox folder. The instructions, you have found, are just driving you (indirectly) to move this limited set of folders (or subset within) into the Dropbox folder, so they can get in sync. Of course, you can move any other regular folder by hand if you want to, so it will start sync. That's it; Dropbox application keep only in sync the Dropbox folder, nothing more (in short). If you have any doubt and have some of your user folders already backed up (in Dropbox), click on such a folder and see this folder path; does it match to your expectations. 😀😉 And in this context one rhetoric question - can you move your network folder you want to sync into Dropbox folder? 🧐👈😯
Hope this clarifies matter.
