Uploading a file to two folders without logging out between uploads.

Is it possible to upload a single file to two folders without logging out between uploads?  Please instruct!

    I'm not sure what you mean? 

     

    Do you mean to 2 accounts? Are they both your accounts? If so why not do a shared folder between them and just upload to one

    No Mark, I sometimes wish to upload a file to two folders in the same account.  Dropbox will not allow me to do this.  I have to log out first and log back in.

    Thanks for your kind attention.

    Hey Summer9! Uploading a single file in to two separate folders at the same time isn’t possible at the time, I’m afraid. 

     

    However, you don’t need to log out and back in to your Dropbox account to do this. You can open the first folder, upload your file there, and then open the second folder and re-upload it inside that folder, too.
