I'm using my "Downloads" folder on each computer and both sync to Drop Box fine.
But neither computer shows the sync'd files on the other, because they are syncing
to different locations on each computer.
How on earth can I get them to sync to the same folder on each computer instead of
creating duplicate "Downloads" folders on each?
Please help!

"Are you trying to have the two separate Downloads folders sync as one folder only?"
Bingo!
I am a tractor trailer driver who's on the road most of the time. In my truck I have a laptop stand and I sit on the edge of my bunk to work on files within my "Downloads" folder. When I get home I prefer to sit at my desktop computer in a real office chair and work
on the same files within my "Downloads" folder. Being an Owner Operator truck driver it is a business. I need both computers to have the exact same files on each to work seemlessly from either computer. My Downloads folder from my laptop shows up elsewhere on my home computer and vice versa with the Downloads folder from the Home computer onto my laptop. Argh! How do I get both to act as one? Do you know how I can achieve this lofty goal?
Thanks,
Norm
Hey Norm, wishing you a wonderful Monday!
You should be able to see the laptop's Computer backup on the desktop computer, and vice versa.
However, "merging" the two Downloads, Documents, and Desktops into one isn't possible right now @Norm-N1SJK.
Give me a nudge if you have any other questions.
