Can I sync my Dropbox files on the website with my new SSD drive?

Hello. I have a 2Tb Dropbox account. My SSD drive failed in my desktop. It does not contain the OS, so the desktop is fine. I  am replacing this SSD and want to re-sync FROM the cloud back to this SSD - and then keep both synced all the time. How do I do this? Thank you.

    Hey lhsrad​, thanks for your post!

    Is this new drive an external one?

    Also, what is your computer's exact OS and version?

    Let me know and we'll go from there!
