How can I manually sync files instead of the desktop app doing it automatically?
Hello I want to set up Dropbox so it syncs what I specifically tell it to. I dont want it automatically retrieving files off my computer and putting them online. I only want to drag and drop individual files from my desktop into drop box local folder and synced to the cloud. How do I do this?
