Getting Dropbox access through Windows 10 File Manager

bigbartabs

I have 2 Windows 10 laptops that have access to all my DropBox folders through File Explorer.

I am adding a 3rd Windows Laptop to my Dropbox.

How do I get the same DropBox folders into the File Explorer on my 3rd laptop... as they are on my other 2 laptops?

Thanks... Keith

Just install the Dropbox application and sign in with the same account you're using on the other two computers. A Dropbox folder will be created and your files will start to sync.

Hey Keith,

So, to get those Dropbox folders into File Explorer on your new laptop, you just need to install the Dropbox app on it. Once you log into your account, it should sync all the folders you've selected for syncing, just like it did on your other two laptops.

If you want to make sure all your folders show up without taking up too much space, you can use the "Selective Sync" option in the Dropbox app. This lets you choose which folders you want to sync to your laptop, so you don’t have to download everything if you don’t need it all.

I’ve also found it handy to use something like CloudMounter to mount Dropbox as a local drive, which makes accessing and managing files on multiple devices possible, especially if you're juggling a lot of stuff.

Let me know how it goes
