Hi there,
yes I read all the tutorials and wikis on dropbox. Unfortunately they seem a bit out dated since non of the links for Mac work.
I did manage to create Symlinks now though.
First I thought I would simply move my Documents, Music and Picture folder into dropbox, create a symlink and then put that back to the home folder where the folders originally came from.
That doesn't seem to be working, since I would need to delete the original folder and replace it with a Symlink, but Finder is just telling me, "The folder Documents can not be deleted because it's required by MacOS".
So I wonder if it's okay if I simply put a Symlink into the dropbox. Will that give me any problems in the future when I sync onto a new computer?
