Can I share a Dropbox folder in my local network?

I have server A and server B in my network and I need to make a sync from my data files in server A to a Dropbox forlder in server B so my files can be uploaded to the cloud

    That's not something that Dropbox is capable of. You'd have to use another process to sync the files across your network. If you're on Windows, Microsoft's SyncToy might do the job.

    Hi microworld,

    Wouldn't Dropbox' LAN sync enough for you? 🤔😉

    Good luck.

      If doesn't sound like both servers are running Dropbox. It sounds more like they have data on Server A and they want to copy it to a Dropbox folder on Server B.
