Great tip about the Link Shell Detection. Now I don’t have to relocate folders into My Dropbox and can setup just certain subfolders to be synced. I can keep them where they are which is great.

This is really going to help productivity using two different computers.
I can even use this to synchronize VirtualBoxes and Firefox settings. Very nice.

Thank you Taylor.

[...] Synchronize Dropbox and ZumoDrive on Windows – Idea Excursion ZumoDrive doesn’t support Linux yet. But, you can use Dropbox in conjunction with Zumodrive to do this cool hack. [...]

BTW, Dropbox now has an iPhone client, V1.0.1 as of today. I’ve only played with it a bit, but it seems to work okay, and includes a viewer for various types of files.

More details from their website here: https://www.getdropbox.com/help/category/Mobile%20Devices

p.s. No, I’m not affiliated with them, except as an occasional user. They have a link from their website to this page.

@Kev

Because I don’t know of a graphical tool, you’ll need to use Terminal to do a little command line work. Open Terminal up and navigate to your Dropbox folder using “cd”. From there, type in this command (replacing the folder path and linkfoldername.

ln -s /path/to/folder/to/symlink linkfoldername

This will create a symbolic link in as “linkfoldername”, which points to /path/to/folder/to/symlink.

This is exactly what I was looking for. But how would one accomplish this on a Mac?

This is a really nifty trick, Taylor! Love it and I am going to try it on mine as well. It will be so cool to get this stuff on both Linux and iPhone.

I use Dropbox to sync my 1password keychain and other settings between my two Macs. I have set mine up where I do not use any aliases to make it work. I simply point the app pref or data location to the Dropbox file on the machine.

I have tried that using the free version of Dropbox, that comes with 2 GB, and really like. Gives you a good feeling, when you know your data is safely backuped and your computers are in sync.
