Actually, you've provoked me into posting something I've been thinking abou= t. Dropbox used to support symlinks. On OSX at least. This was awesome for me, I have a Dropbox folder as usual, and in it I put a symlink to my Documents folder. This meant that my documents were automatically backed up to the cloud, and yet they still appeared where I wanted them to on the local computer. Alas, on October 6th I received an email telling me that symlinks to folders outside of the Dropbox folder were now forbidden and wouldn't work. I already back up my machine online using another service, but Dropbox was rather convenient for on the go retrieval. Changing my designated Dropbox folder to be the local Documents folder is not a great solution either as I have a ton of shared folders that are organized in the Dropbox folder, but would now get dumped into my Documents folder. Has anyone else run into this and managed to solve it? Thanks!
