Hello --
I would like to use my local server as basically a hard drive to back up our dropbox for business files. Is there a way to do that? If anyone could provide info or link me to an article on how to do this, it would be much appreciated.
To be clear -- I want my employees to use the dropbox for our day to day business, but I want my server to keep a copy of the files that are in dropbox and to have it sync automatically.
Thanks!
Just install the Dropbox client on the server and link it to your Dropbox for Business account and it will sync. If you want it to continue syncing when not logged in as a user, look up how to run it as a service or a scheduled task. You can find information on this at http://www.dropboxwiki.com.
