I would like Dropbox to sync although I didn't log-in to window account.

I am using Desktop dropbox which syncs after I log in to my window. 

 

However, I have a script that needs to use a file from dropbox and that would run after restarting at night.  (so I couldn't log in)

 

How could I make dropbox to sync the file before I logged into my computer?

 

Thank you

    There is no way to do this I'm afraid (at least not via Dropbox itself). Dropbox will only run and work while it is logged in.
