@"Delegado Cero" wrote:How can I synchronize the whole computer with all your "computers"? Simply put, you can't, at least not in the way you're describing it.

@"DavidBrkd" wrote:If someone shares a folder with me and I join that folder, is it possible to move/rename other folders (sub-folders) within the shared folder into my folders without changing anything for the owner of the original folder?

@"mcjayjay" wrote:Can an application/program stored on dropbox be executed directly? The Dropbox folder on your computer is like any other folder on your computer. There's nothing special about it.
