Link an existing folder within another folder
Hello! I've found a number of instances where I'm creating a new folder for a new project and would like to link to an already existing folder from a past project. I don't want to move the folder or create a copy, but just link to it as a shared resource.
I mostly use dropbox within Finder, but occasionally on web as well, so it would be ideal for me to see this kind of link in both interfaces.
Is this possible already or if not, would others find this helpful as well?

Thanks for your post, g_m_d!
Do you mean you’d like to create a link/shortcut to another folder on the Dropbox website the way it’s described here?
As for your Finder, you should be able to do this by right clicking on the folder in question and selecting the “Make Alias” option; you can then drag the alias of your folder to the desired location.
Let me know if that’s what you wanted to achieve.
Ohhh, Alias is what I was looking for — I just didn't have the right terminology in my search. Thank you!
