Where Apples service can sync your desktop and Documents folder, youve had to be content with syncing a special folder with Dropboxs service.You might have reason to give it a second look in the near future, though.
Dropbox Folder Sync Mac Team HasThe 9to5Mac team has discovered that the latest Dropbox beta for Mac (sadly, not easy to grab) has the option of syncing your desktop, Documents and Downloads.Like with iCloud, this only really makes sense if you subscribe to one of Dropboxs paid tiers (2GB is woefully inadequate).Even so, it could be very helpful if you want cloud storage that serves more as a seamless backup for common files than a place to upload specific files.

This works similar to how iCloud desktop and documents syncing works, which means that you do not have to move your existing files and folders to a new location under the root Dropbox folder. The files in these folders are automatically synced to all devices where the user is signed in with their iCloud ID, including iPhone, iPad and other Macs. Every change to the files in these folders will be automatically synced to Dropbox. This means that users can also use the restore feature in Dropbox for these files, which is technically Time Machine in the cloud. Restore lets users revert back to previous versions of their files. As Dropbox has not officially announced this update yet, we have yet to find out. However, we have tried the above steps but have been unable to gain access to the new feature to backup our Mac files to Dropbox. We will keep you posted once we are able to take this new feature for a ride.
