Can I sync a folder to an external drive?
I'm on a macbook pro laptop with a 500GB internal drive.
A client shared a folder of multiple video projects that I couldn't see the full data size in dropbox.
I decided to join it as downloading...
Thanks Hannah,
The folder to sync was 400GB approx and it filled the drive to the brim and hadn't completed by a long shot.
On chatting with a college I'm using another computer and have moved its dropbox folder to a removable drive and selectively synced the media folder in question.
This will work.
Is there a way I can protect my laptop from dropbox overfilling it in the future?
