sync foldeIrs to dropbox and keep them in my current computer path

[kylefoley76]

i want my folders to my automatically backed up with dropbox but i want to keep my folders where they are on my desktop computer.  I don't want to have to move them into the dropbox folder on my desktop.  whenever i try to synx folders with dropbox i have to move them out of the current path that they are in.  i don't want that. i just want to tell dropbox what folders to sync and where they are on my computer.

Hey @kylefoley76, I hope you're having a great day! 

You can sync some paths, such as “Desktop”, “Documents” and “Downloads” to Dropbox, using the Computer Backup feature. Any changes you make to those folders on your computer or in Dropbox will continuously mirror to both.

You can check more details here!

If you have any more questions on how this works, I am here!

Your link which says 'here' is not working.

Hey @kylefoley76, thanks for flagging this with us!

I've amended the link and it should be working now. 

Let us know of any updates!

I can only backup large folders such as documents, desktop or downloads.  I can't backup subfolders of those large folders.

Hey @kylefoley76, you can backup paths like Documents, Desktop, or Downloads and their sub-folders. 

However, at the moment you wouldn't be able to backup the sub-folders alone.
