Saving files to dropbox on a Mac

- Hi Horrorstead,
You should be saving in to that Dropbox folder which you access via the Dropbox app on the computer.
Usually it installs to \Users\*your username\Dropbox (Personal)\ can you see that? hm?!!?!
click on the folder icon when the menu opens by clicking on your menubar icon
now your Dropbox folder should open
now right click (or ctrl. click depending on your mouse configuration) on the titlebar of this window right on the name - it should be "Dropbox" in your case. In my screenshot it´s named "Dropbox (Privat)" because I have a team folder too.
Under Dropbox your see the path where it resides - in my case on my internal drive "DATA" on my iMac.

Thankyou Mark, yes that is where it is installed and meant I could eventually save to dropbox. Do you know how I could add this to favourites to make it easier each time I was to save?
Thanks

just go to the folder in the path above DB folder so you can grab the DB folder and drag it to the favourites
Never mind, figured out you just it over! I can now happily save within drobox! Thanks for your help guys.
