Is it possible to sync files between the USA and China?

Hello! I found this service while was searching for an app to sync files across devices and now I wonder if it's possiible to share info from device to other one if they're in different countries? I need to sync all the data about my online Sellvia store + all the docs on the computer constantly, without the need to do it manually. I'm in USA and the other person with device is in China. So is this possible? (sorry if the question seems to be silly, I'm just not a tech pro and don't know a thing about it)

    Hey Noah5665, thanks for your post.

    At this time, lots of sites/services are hard to access from within China and Dropbox is one of those services.

    Some users have been using Dropbox in China successfully with a VPN, however, this is still not as stable and also it's not something we can support in case of an issue.

    So, in your case, that's the issue, because otherwise you can sync files across countries with no problem.

    I hope this clarifies things and if you need anything else, let me know.
