This is for the forum for help using the Dropbox API, but it sounds like you're using the local filesystem and Dropbox desktop client, not the Dropbox API, so I'm afraid I can't offer help.

If you're looking for help with scheduling jobs on Windows and manipulating the local file system, I recommend referring to the Windows documentation, and perhaps posting on a more general forum, such as StackOverflow.
