mapping my dropbox as a network drive and not store locally
Hi I would like to save my visual studio projects on dropbox but not on my local computer. I would like to map it as a network drive. I don't believe selective sync is going to work for this. So I want to create a new project in visual studio and point it to my projects folder on dropbox. So as I work in visual studio the changes are being save on dropbox but not on my local machine. Is this possible. Is it possible to map dropbox as a network drive?

It is coming!
Project Infinity was announced this week so I can only assume the OS's etc. have shared the API..... however, what we dont know is when its coming or if its going to be available to only Business, or Business / Pro etc.
Can't wait...

You can't - yet.
Dropbox have just announced to their Business customers that something similar is on the way.

On the assumption this comes out as good as the preview show, then...
Congratulations DB this is the most important update you have ever rolled out.
You will have crossed from a clunky synchronizing tool to a true cloud storage system.
Charge forward with it before another steps up and takes your place.
Folks,
Thank you very much indeed.
Cheers,
Dudu.
