Dropbox in two locations
Hello, I would like to have one Dropbox account mirrored in two locations, on a local disk accessible to me and on a mounted network drive. Is there a way to have one account in two locations synced with the same machine?

No, that's not something that Dropbox does. It doesn't even support networked locations. Your best bet is to use Dropbox as intended, then use a third-party tool like Microsoft's SyncToy to copy the Dropbox folder to another location. Just keep in mind that this is not support by Dropbox, should you run in to any issues.
