That's not something that Dropbox is capable of. You'd have to use another process to sync the files across your network. If you're on Windows, Microsoft's SyncToy might do the job.

Hi @microworld,

Wouldn't Dropbox' LAN sync enough for you? 🤔😉

Good luck.

If doesn't sound like both servers are running Dropbox. It sounds more like they have data on Server A and they want to copy it to a Dropbox folder on Server B.

If they had stated "Dropbox folder in Server A to a Dropbox folder in Server B" then yes, LAN Sync would be the option, assuming it's supported on their device.

@Rich, Let midroworld decides. 😉

I have a sync from server A to server B. Dropbox is in server B. I need server B to sync to the cloud.  Server B dropbox folder cannot be shared in my local network so I can redirect my sync in order for my data to be uploaded to the cloud
