You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I have a larger dropbox account than my primary hard drive. It would be great if dropbox could support virtual links to files outside of it's default location, without those files having to also be i...
We've all had this issue, since 2014, and Dropbox has largely ignored this request. The problem goes like this. I have multiple hard drives, each about 500GB in size. I have a 2TB Dropbox account. I want to sync Dropbox across several hard drives in order to actually make use of that 2TB of space. This is impossible to do normally/easily, and some of the older methods described are difficult, convoluted, no longer work, or just plain require way too many steps or add-ons.
However, I have found a workaround solution that has been working for me so far (for Windows). It goes like this. You sign into your main Windows account. You make a Dropbox, and you install it on one of your drives. Then you log out of your Windows account so that you are back at Windows startup. You make and sign into another local account. With this new Windows login, install Dropbox again, on the next drive (using the same dropbox user login). Make sure to turn selective sync on and unsync Drive 1 from this Drive 2 account, so that you aren't syncing duplicates.
Do this for as many drives as you want to sync across, one Windows account login per drive, unfortunately.
Then, go back to your main Windows account. Files that you drop into those other drives will sync online after a few moments (it's a bit slower and doesn't show any syncing symbols, but it still seems to work!) You are now able to sync across multiple drives.
Sometimes you have to relogin to those other accounts for Dropbox to turn on again after a Windows update or major shutdown event but overall this loophole has been working for me and is fairly simple to do. Just make sure to turn on selective sync so that all the drives aren't resyncing themselves into eachother ad infinitum.
Also, Dropbox.. ADD THIS FEATURE FOR BUSINESS'S SAKE, ARE YOU KIDDING ME WHY ISN'T THIS ALREADY A THING?!?
PS: Or, as someone mentioned, just install Boxifier XD
