Documents and Desktop Sync Multiple Macs
Years back, I used symlinks to sync my Home directory folders to Dropbox between multiple Macs. Of course, that isn't possible any longer, and I had to drop the links. Since then, Dropbox introduced backups, and I see now they allow all the Home directory folders to be backed up. My question is, can I use Backup as I did with the symlink and sync the Home directory Folders between multiple Macs, or will Dropbox create multiple root folders for each system?
- Hi Double-T, happy Monday, I hope you're doing well!
When you use the computer backup feature, you'll have separate folders within your Dropbox folder for each device.
If you have three Mac devices, each will be labeled "Mac 1," "Mac 2," and so on.
I hope this helps to clarify things.

I hope this helps to clarify things.Yes, but what if you precisely want that the Macs share the same backup folders instead of separate ones like Mac 1, MLac 2, etc, so that they remain in sync?
