Unfortunately, there are no solutions for those of us that relied on symlinks to backup data outside of the dropbox folder.

Hi nullptr,

Your statement isn't true actually! The symbolic link might be most convenient for many users, but isn't the only one.

😏 Actually, your statement could be true here (partially). Directory binding is additional layer between underlying file system and users programs. Such a layers interface, on Linux, always have nature of FS interface. In this context - binding falls in FS restrictions of Dropbox (bind interface isn't inside Dropbox "white list"). The truth in your statement is up to here. There is relatively easy way, developed long time ago in context of FS limitation introduction, which just overcome this limitation. Such method could be used and there is example for use here (just change device mount to binding). 😉 That's it.

Enjoy!
