    Link 2 folders in different locations?


    Is there a way to link 2 folders? I have a Dropbox account and folder in one area of my documents and a school folder in another. When I save assignments I am working on to my school folder, I'd like to have it automatically make a copy in my Dropbox folder so that I can access these files remotely from other computers. Is this possible?

    Thanks!

    Yes, I think you'll be looking for Microsoft Sync Toy (Download details: SyncToy 2.1).

    As you are on a school network you may have a hard time convincing your IT department to let you run it.

    Alternatively you could just have a short cut in the Work area which points straight to Drop Box which is far easier to do because no extra software is required and there are no files to be copied.

    Thanks. That exactly what I was looking for. Would be nice if it just automatically synchronized the folders when a change is made rather than me having to open the application and click run, but that's not a huge deal.
