I would like a two way sync between an SSD and Dropbox
I mostly use DropBox to store my media content for work, I use it to share with editors, and clients for delivery, however, I have realized that having an external SSD to have all the files always there a much more reliable way to edit, however I still would like to store and sync all my files between the SSD and Dropbox to have multiple backups and also give access to my editors when files are stored in my SSD locally.
I am aware that Backup option will make this work but I would like to have two way sync to just keep both end points exactly the same.
I hope this works and could be implemented

Hi mechakoush, thanks for messaging the Community!
Just to check, you're not looking for having the Dropbox folder stored on your external drive, but for the drive itself to appear on the site and be shareable?
This will help me to assist further!

Hey mechakoush - did you get the chance to see Jay's response?

I just want to have a system where the drive I connect is automatically synced with Dropbox, and if I do changes on Dropbox drive, it is automatically updated on the drive as well, so possibly what I am trying to say is a thee-way-sync Local SSD, External SSD and Dropbox.
