You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I have a larger dropbox account than my primary hard drive. It would be great if dropbox could support virtual links to files outside of it's default location, without those files having to also be i...
re: "Sometimes you have to relogin to those other accounts for Dropbox to turn on again after a Windows update or major shutdown even"
You should set each of those user accounts dropbox to NOT start automatically.
Then in your primary account create a set of shortcuts as follows
RUNAS.EXE /savecred /user:<username> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe"
You can now run each dropbox user instance from within your main account.
Which is way cleaner than keeping the whole profile running for each like you have been doing.
PS: I would not waste the energy explaining to DB what your use purpose is, they just entertain your interactions to side line that they are not doing anything about this. They have done nothing and wont do anything about it. When it doesn't effect 98% of the user base they don't care about the other 2% its not economically viable to address it.
And lets face it, if you really need more space and "security" (said loosely) of placing a copy on Dropbox buy a bigger hard drive.
Then Buy a second external one and use that as a backup, don't trust in the cloud alone!
