If those two locations are on the same partition nothing changes at all.
It frees up space in one location and uses it up in another one.
Moving folders to the Dropbox folder doesn't take up more space. But all of this has nothing to do with what you are trying to do ~ at least nothing I can see?Your logic isn't entirely correct. To change the host you have to copy the file to the other actual host, the sharename can be edited within the share properties and to change the location you can e.g. The sharing path is exactly what it should be "\hostsharename.location_within_share.". The little drawback is that a changes are only pushed to the cloud once the Dropbox app is restarted.'m not sure what you were trying to say or ask with the sharing properties. Dropbox will automatically follow the linked file structure and sync all of it's contents to the cloud. Files will simply appear to be in both locations but they are only stored once on the drive.Dropbox is also intelligent in syncing symlinks/Junctions. For example if those two locations reside on the same volume you can use hard links. Technically it sure is possible to have things residing outside the Dropbox folder yet have them synced. "group1", share this folder with the other people and whenever you want to share something with those people you can add it (move it) into that location. I think the problem is that most of your requests are already meat by the known services but only one or two are different ~ something you'd have to compromise on.For example the easiest way to share things with (the same) other people is to create a folder within Dropbox e.g. But actually what it is doing is showing you the properties of the folder in the Dropbox location, not the "link". If you click on folder properties you will see it as a normal folder, not a link. What they do is that they create a 'link' to the original location, moving the original folder to the dropbox location and keeping the file properties. Moving them it's not an option, because I want the folders in the location I already have.ĭon't recommend me software like 'Dropbox Sync Folder' or the likes. Copying folders will result in more drive space filled. To conclude, I was thinking all this for one purpose: not having to copy folders (or move them), to the dropbox folder. I think by editing or adding a path will share a folder with a specified location.
I was also thinking, is there any way to edit the Network Path of a folder, by adding multi paths (if you right click on a folder, properties > sharing you will see the network path). Is it possible to add another option, like: Share with Dropbox.
