Sync dropbox across multiple locations/hard drives
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...

Hey.
I would like to suggest that you make this feature of 'Backups' further available for clients who do not have there dropbox folder on the internal harddrive of your macbook but use an external harddrive as your dropbox folder.
As surely I am not the only user to use an external harddrive as there dropbox folder instead of having it on the internal harddrive as some of the internal harddrives are not big enough to for the dropbox plan i am on or require. but...
it would still be nice to backups>This Mac feature availble to me.
As you can see from below because my dropbox and folder are on different drives it does not allow me to set this feature up, I believe many of your clients will be in the same situation as me and would like to use this feature but aren't allowed.
Please could you look at updating this feature? Thanks.

I totally agree with this idea! The description can be a bit more clear. I've rewritten the requirements in 3 requirement: 1A, 1B and 2.
1A- Feature "computer backup" should be available also when the dropbox-folder is fysically located on another drive than the main drive of the Operating System (so not only on C: but also on another internal drive or external drive)
1B- Feature "computer backup" should be available also when the computerfolders (Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Videos, Desktop, Music) are fysically located on another drive than the main drive of the Operating System (so not only on C: but also on another internal drive or external drive)
*** Requirement 1A and 1B are a "must-have". Most users will be satisfied when this is available. Next step would be the following "should-have" requirement:
2- Feature "computer backup" should be available when the computerfolders (Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Videos, Desktop, Music) are fysically located on another drive than the drive where the Dropbox-folder is fysically stored.
