Is there a way to sync via ssh?

I've been happily using Dropbox on my employer's laptop for years to store my personal files separately.  Recently my employer decided to block Dropbox sync. I can access my Dropbox files via https but not via Finder/etc. I'm wondering if anyone has written a script that can be periodically run that would compare my local Dropbox folder with the cloud Dropbox, via ssh/https and then sync that way. It should be possible.

    Hi thognar, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Currently, there isn't an official method to do as you're asking with Dropbox. 

     

    There may be some other third party apps or services that can help you to sync that way to and from Dropbox.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
