Hi Rishi If you make any changes or modifications to the files on: "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\Drop box/Public/ Rishi's notes It will get updated and backed up on dropbox.
When you do so on your D drive folder it will have no effect as Dropbox is unaware of it. It uploads only the files on dropbox folder. I hope this clarifies your doubt.

Hi Harish, Vamshi and Umesha, I was following this thread about automatic online backup of our files and folders on Dropbox. But the automatic upload and update feature does not seem to be working on my end. I don't know where am I going wrong or what am I missing out on? Request you guys to guide. I successfully created my account on Drop box and installed the Drop box programme on my Laptop. By default there were 2 folders under the Drop box folder viz. Photos and Public. I copied a folder from my D drive namely, Rishi's notes, which contains a couple of folders and files and pasted it in the Public folder of the Drop Box folder which is under "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\Drop box But after I worked/modified some of the files and also created a couple of new files under the Rishi's notes folder on my hard disk i.e ( D drive), they did not get automatically updated and uploaded in the Drop box folder i.e "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\Drop box/Public/ Rishi's notes My laptop is always connected to the internet through Airtel broadband connection. Please correct my understanding if I've gone wrong anywhere. How do I succeed in this automatic backup feature provided by Drop box? Awaiting your kind guidance, Rishi. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Umesha Economics" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 6:38 AM Subject: Re: [AI] On line back up of one of the folders on drop box? > no, not the shortcuts, original files and folders have to be saved in > dropbox folder. dropbox folder is just a special folder in your computer. > there will be a subfolder called private within that folder. you have to > save all your files and folders that you want to be backed up into this > folder. if the dropbox program in your computer is active and connected to > internet, it will automatically upload and update those files into the > web. > > Umesha > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Vamshi.
