Dropbox and Transcend JetDrive Lite expansion cards

I was wondering if anyone had had any success storing their Dropbox folder on one of these expansion cards? I have one for my MacBook Pro and would love to keep a rather large Dropbox folder on there...

    Hmm, not sure about that. I moved the whole Dropbox folder to the Transcend and once you format it and install a bit of software that mounts and unmounts the drive when putting the computer to sleep it all works really well.

Hello Andy - I hope you won't mind answering a question.  I too am considering a JetDrive card and am planning on permanently moving a couple of large folders with multiple files to it.  I cannot figure out if once those files are moved to the JetDrive card can the files/folders of that card be set up to automatically sync to Dropbox just like all the other files/folders on my Macbook's hard drive?

If you have any insights and wouldn't mind sharing, it would be appreciated.
