Does Dropbox force the syncing/sharing of folders like OneDrive?
Hey guys. I need a way to share files between my PC and my laptop. I'm getting frustrated with Microsoft's OneDrive because they force you to sync/share DOCUMENTS, DESKTOP and at least one other fold...
Hello,
For question 1:
No, Dropbox does not force you to sync any specific folders, such as Documents, Desktop, or others.
By default, Dropbox only syncs the contents of its designated Dropbox folder. You can manually move files or folders into this folder to sync them.For question 2:
Dropbox provides a desktop application that runs in the background to automatically sync files.
Once the app is installed and set up on both devices, any changes made in the Dropbox folder on one device will automatically sync to the other device.
