Hi community (and hopefully developpers),
 
I work a lot with music, and Dropbox is really convenient for working with the same project on multiple computers or sharing with friends.
 
My laptop that sits in my studio/office space doesn't have a lot of disk space, so only the handful of projects I currently work with tends to be stored locally. That means I have to sync and unsync projects once or twice a weak, when I decide to work with something else.
 
Since I prefer not using smartsync*, this means I have to go into preferences and sync/unsync the project folders manually. I'm used to it, I guess, however, since the Dropbox windows app nowadays has a handy search function, how about making it possible to to hardsync (not smartsync) directly in the search/browser window?
 
Best regards
 
Jens
 
*The software I'm mainly using, Ableton Live, isn't very compatible with the Smartsync function, and I guess I can live with that.

Hi @hairofthedog, thanks for messaging the Community!

Could you clarify what you mean by 'sync'? Are you referring to selective sync where entire folders are removed from your local machine or something else?

This will help me to assist further!

Hi @Jay,

 

yes, I'm talking about selective sync. It would be nice if it was a button or menu on its own and not under preferences.
