How can I upload from an SSD directly?

Is it possible to upload to Dropbox directly from an SSD, so I can share video files with an editor?

I only have 512GB on my internal drive in my Mac, so there isn’t always room to store them on the Mac while I upload and then make the available offline etc.

Any help much appreciated!

    Hi Adamsaundersmusic, thanks for posting today.

     

    Are you uploading the entire SSD, or certain files from the external drive?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    Thanks for clarifying that for us Adamsaundersmusic 

     

    Would the walk-around described here work for what you had in mind by any chance?

    That looks complex

    If I uploaded the whole drive would that be a workaround?
