if anything differs, then it will upload it as preceived _new_ content, as a Conflicted Copy
I would make sure that backup was minutes old if I was gonna link Dropbox to it.
I wouldnât try this with a folder that was days old
(an API or Anti-virus could have modified the files in a very minor way, Dropbox detect the _modified date_ as different and then duplication as (Conflicted Copy)s )
Dropbox will still reindex, to build the local database. this could take a while dependent on number of files and shared folderâŠ. but Dropbox does not actually downloading the data, just checking it
