Can we have more folder options like custom folders or sub-folders to add to Computer Backup?
Right now, the automated backup option in Dropbox allows me to sync my Documents, Desktop and Downloads folders. By far the biggest - and most important - folder on my computer is the Music folder th...
Moving the default locations of the user's folders (Documents, Desktop, Downloads etc.) is a very common practice especially with hybrid disks, where the SSD disk houses the OS and HDD houses User's libraries. Dropbox only backs up user's libraries when they are in the default location C:\Users\username. So when a user moves the libraries to an alternate location (D:\), even when the Dropbox library in the same alternate location, an error message results. This way Dropbox automatic backup options prevent backing up these folders
Can this be solved? Shouldn't be difficult? Otherwise keeping the 2 TB storage capacity plan for annual (not quite symbolic) fee is ludicrous
Thank you
Completely agree, but for slightly different reasons: I'm on a mac and the autosync feature allows Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folder. I use Dropbox to store all my music and would like it to mirror non of these: I'd like it to mirror my iTunes music folder so anything I buy or add automatically transfers to my Dropbox library. I have friends that are photographers and videographers and would like the same. Being able to click a folder and autosync it so it's constantly backed up to Dropbox would be so useful.
