Yeah, I already changed the default location. My main file structure works like this:
Projects > Client > Year
What I want to share out are select client year folders. If I shared out Projects as the main dropbox folder, then I would have to deselect many dozens of folders, and remember to do this each time. Plus a given client could have a TB+ of data, but I only want to share out the current year which is nested within that folder.
The entire projects directory is backed up to a server, which is then backed up offsite. If I pull data out of there, it gets removed from my backup.
The whole reason for doing this is so that I don't have to duplicate data that I have to manage. So if I have to manually copy it to dropbox, I might as well just manually copy it to my server.
