Can I locally share my Dropbox folder on my Windows machine?
My wife and I have files we want to share that are in Dropbox and are synced to our computer in my local Dropbox folder. She has her own local account on the same machine and I want to know if I can ...
Hi Willie602, it might be possible to share a folder from one computer profile to another on your Windows machine.
However, as this isn't directly related to Dropbox, we wouldn't be able to provide any specific steps on how to do this, as this would be a Windows feature.
Likewise, we wouldn't be able to predict how files would sync to your Dropbox account when any edits are made in the folder.
A little confusion. Right now, she does not have a Dropbox account. I want her to be able to access the folder (and the files within) on our Windows machine. That is why I am asking about locally sharing a synced folder with her from within my Dropbox folder that is in my Windows account on our machine. We each have a separate Windows account on our computer. If it can be done, it would mean that the files within this shared folder would not be duplicated on our hard drive. If this is even possible, the next question is whether any changes she made within that locally shared folder would be synced to my Dropbox.com account.
