Hi Dear Harish,
I was laughing at my stupidity after reading your clarification, smiles.
As you know I'm not a tech savvy as many of you all are, smile.
Anyway, Thanks a tonne.
And now before I try out anything foolish again, I had 3 doubts viz.
1. Can I have this Drop box folder under my D drive? Is it simply cutting
and pasting the Drop box folder from my C drive to the D drive or does it
have to be done in some other way?
2. Do we have to save our files and folders only under the Public folder
which was by default created under the drop box folder for them to get
automatically uploaded and updated? Or can we also create and save private
files and folders under the drop box folder itself for them to get uploaded
and updated?
3. Are our files and folders that we create and save under the public
folder which is of course under the drop box folder freely and openly
accessible by all and sundry on the net? I hope not!
Excuse me for my ignorance but I just want to make sure that my precious
files and folders are completely safe and secure before I embark on Drop
box.
Many thanks in advance Dear Harish and others.
Regards, Rishi.

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.
Harish Kotian.

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.

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.

Does saving to the drop box folder mean creating a short cut of the
folder and pasting it in the drop box? If the original folder gets
deleted, will the folder in the drop box be available?

Dear friends,
I am working on my PhD thesis. I am writing lot of material every day
and don't want to loose it in case of any system crash. Can I have an
on line back up of one of the folders on drop box so that whenever I
write a document or update an existing document in that folder,
there should be an automatic back up on the drop box without me
requiring to do that manually?
Awaiting guidance.
