Can I sync the same content to multiple folders at once?

We have created image folders to mirror our website content. We have a product that works under 2 categories, therefore, the same images are used in both folders.

(Product- used for WINTER USE and SUMMER USE, same product in 2 locations)

Is there a way to get both folders to sync with content together instead of uploading new images to BOTH folders manually? Like if I add an image to the WINTER folder, is there a way to automatically add it to SUMMER so I don't need to remember all of the locations that one product is listed?

  • Hey FrostSprayTech - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

    I'm afraid there's no automatic way to achieve what you had in mind through Dropbox at this time. 

    You can post your idea about this as a feature enhancement if you like following these tips.

    Let me know if you have anything else to ask.

    As Walter mentioned there's no way for Dropbox to do that, but there are many local folder sync apps available that can, depending on your OS. Do a Google search for "local folder sync applications" and you'll find several options.
