We share ebooks and most of the readers now allow Dropbox sync but in the Aps folder.
We share all our ebooks on Dropbox and now cannot add books centrally without regularly copying.
If there was a method by which a folder can be synched to another folder with aliases such that file duplication does not impact storage this would mean apps that use the relative /apps/application fixed access folder could see shared content between users. This would aid collaboration on many applications that now have access only to the apps folder.
Hi @OutsideBox, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
We appreciate the feedback on this matter. Currently, this feature isn't available with Dropbox.
The Apps folder is special since it is used for third party apps. These apps can restrict access to just that folder, or be given access to the entire Dropbox account, and it sounds like the app you're referring to is limited to the Apps folder. For this reason, the Apps folder can't be shared with any user.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
