Sync files from multiple internal hard drives

Sync files from multiple internal hard drives

Hello All,

 

I've been using Dropbox for some time but my knowledge of the app is very basic.

 

Up to now I have been putting folders/files I want to sync into the "Dropbox" folder on my laptop. This hard drive is now at it's capacity (2TB) and I would like to start syncing folders from my other internal hard drive. Is there an option for this?

 

Many thanks, Stuart

Unfortunately not - Dropbox simply doesnt work like this. All files for Dropbox only sync if they are inside of the 'Dropbox' directory

Thank you for the reply Mark!

 

Given there are higher storage limits available on DropBox than laptop hard drives, is there any way to link other folders into the DropBox folder to they are also synced? Just hoping there is a workaround as I really like the DropBox functionality and I've got used to sending links to clients etc.

 

Thanks again, Stuart

That's a shame. Looks like I will need to investigate an alternative cloud storage option.

 

Many thanks! Stuart
