Hey
I can do that I guess .. but isn’t there another way to keep the folder updated automatically?
I want to have it back up on computer and Dropbox simultaneously, and that both will be all the time updated for any change that I’m doing there.
Is there a way to do ? I mean to keep it synced all the time ? Or the option is to work from the Dropbox folder ?

Hi boazbentur, what you're asking for wouldn't be possible, since the Dropbox desktop application will only sync files from within the Dropbox folder itself.
If you want the folder to sync, it needs to reside in the Dropbox folder.
