Rich I tried what you suggested above but couldn't send or receive.
I closed Outlook, moved the Outlook directory to DropBox. Opened Outlook and directed it to the new location. My email folders opened fine. But I got a send and receive error. I opened the account settings and everything looked fine. I closed Outlook and moved the folder back. Directed Outlook back to the original location and everything worked fine.
I'm using Windows 7 and Office 16.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Suggest you speak to Microsoft Bill as to how to move Outlook folders as that should work - it could be that its also looking for things like archive or address files.

You need to google where your email folders are stored and put them in the Dropbox folder to let them sync - and possibly also tell Outlook where they are.

You cant download them all - gmail is a web based platform it isnt designed to work on a computer.
You may be able to download individual emails, however, but you'd need to ask Google how to download / save them and then put each one inside Dropbox

Hi,
Please have a look at the Repstor integration for Dropbox, this might solve your problem.
Cheers,

I need to send some large local files in Outlook to Dropbox, but when I click and drag the files from Outlook to Dropbox it doesn't work. Any ideas how I can attach these files/folders to Dropbox please?
