Syncing outside folders to Dropbox used to be such a pain because symlinks/junctions don't sync changes as they happen (you need to restart Dropbox each time in order for it to syn…

The kernel extension implements Dropbox Infinite.

The accessibility features of the OS are used by Dropbox to implement the Dropbox Badge / Project Harmony feature.

The long term game for Dropbox is in having businesses outsource storage to them. While consumer cloud storage is a tough market (due to it being a race to the bottom), the vision …

From a first look on Windows, this is implemented with NTFS sparse files [1] and a file system minifilter. The sparse files act as placeholders so that you can browse your entire D…

Could you please try Boxifier and let me know how it works for you? I would appreciate it.
