Is there a way to set up folder actions to automatically copy any file or folder that is added to a particular folder, to another folder?
The reason behind this is to set up a folder in Dropbox that is protected from the auto-write feature in Lion. I figure if a file comes in thru Dropbox into the particular folder, the file would be copied to a folder outside the Dropbox environment, then while looking at one of these files, it won't pollute the whole Dropbox account with an unwanted write.
I was looking in the wrong spot. I found the solution in Automator. Files copy over just fine.
