Only one of my PCs shows in my computer's homepage, after latest backup update
Hi, I have two PC synced on Dropbox.
I used to see both as folders in the homepage, and on my computer inside the folder Dropbox.
Then there has been I think an update on how the backup work....
No supported ways with backup I'm afraid - backup is intended to just be a mirror of files not a sync.
Other ways are also unsupported so you'd need to look at third party tools. Or, do what I did and just tell Windows to "move" the directories inside of Dropbox.
So mine used to be \Dropbox\My Documents etc.
And then when I went to 'My Docs' via a side pane window it was inside of Dropbox
Thank you again. Creating shorcuts in the original location of the folders is good advise.
Referring to this paragraph:

Is this a different way of doing the same thing? Can I set up in config that I would like the "Documents" folder to always be in sync?
