Are you referring to the Dropbox folder itself? 

 

If a file is inside the Dropbox folder, then it would sync to the site.

again my question is same i uploaded the folder in dropbox which is physically in 😧 Drive for example D:\Testfolder.

If i made any chnages in the folder like creted new files in D:\Testfolder, then that  file is not syncing in dropbox.

    Hi subodh, it's expected for the changes not to sync if the situation is as you described. 

     

    Any changes you make in your Dropbox folder, will sync online, and vice versa. However, if I have a folder called "cat23" in my local, D hard drive, and a folder "cat23" in Dropbox, which is located in my D drive, then these two won't sync with each other. 

     

    If I understand your situation correctly, you want your Testfolder that you have in your C drive, in Dropbox, to reflect in the path D:\Testfolder, is that so? In this case I'm afraid that this isn't how Dropbox works. You'd need to copy the changes from Dropbox to the folder in your D drive.
