Can I sync any folder on my drive to dropbox except the Dropbox folder?
Hello,
Can I sync any folder on my drive to dropbox except the Dropbox folder?
No, Dropbox application syncs only the Dropbox folder (and everything within, of course).

Hi Megan,
What do mean you "both"???! Doesn't such statement sound a bit slippery? There is just a single place (within Dropbox folder)!!! The folders you are referring to (user's special folders) are moved actually on "backup" turn on. There are NOT "both"!

Dropbox StaffHi Здравко, you're partly right on this one!
The backed-up folders will appear as normal and in their regular location in Finder/Explorer, but in reality they will link to folders inside the Dropbox folder. That's what my earlier statement meant.
If you need anything else, let me know.
😁Megan, I can see you aren't aware how exactly Dropbox application works (in spite you're Dropboxer). In all cases Dropbox can sync only files residing into the Dropbox folder (or subfolders there). It's another story, is on the original place set a shortcut or not! Most probably you're mixing this.
Of course, there are exceptions (introduced relatively recent) - external drives. But this is out of OP context (current/internal drive). 😉
Would be nice if your application breaks that limitation (only within Dropbox folder), a limitation that never existed for some of Dropbox competitors. 👍 If you make your personal pressure to development team, such thing to be achieved..., Thanks. 🙋
