OK, I fixed the bs that doing this caused. What I'm going to tell you how to do is to link folders outside your dropbox folder to your dropbox folder so that they will be uploaded to your dropbox. Meaning you will have 2 folders that will always have the same contents, deleting a file in folder A will also remove it from folder B. This is go for example game saves. Every time you save the file will be saved in your dropbox and uploaded thus all your saves are backed up. Now if you did what I posted before you should be fine. I ended up having a few things not work correctly but I deemed them unrelated. I have since done this again and am going to write up a guide on how to do this. Doing this with My Pictures, My Videos etc. This is easier than doing this with gamesaves all you need to do is go to your user folder (the one thats your name). There you will see all of your My Pictures, My Documents, My Videos folders. To make all of these folders store their files in your dropbox folder simply right click the folder and select properties. Then select the location tab. Here is an example of my My Videos folder. To make this folder synced to your dropbox folder select the move option and then navigate to your dropbox folder and then to the folder you would like this videos stored. If you are doing your photos folder I recommend using a folder called Photos since then you can access them via http://dropbox.com/photos. Here is an example of my updated My Pictures folder. Now you'll notice the folder is no longer called My Pictures but rather photos. This is because the folder will automatically take the name of the folder you link it to. You'll also notice the folders icon has changed to that of the dropbox photos folder icon. If you don't like these changes any time you can restore the default windows folders by clicking the restore default button shown.
Doing this with gamesaves or other files. Let's say borderlands stores my save files in this location. Code: C:\Program Files\Gearbox\Borderlands\saves And lets say we want our saved games stored in this folder. Code: C:\Users\Arie\My Dropbox\Game Saves\Borderlands First we would take all of our current gamesaves and move them to our dropbox ahead of time. So, were taking all the contents of the "C:\Program Files\Gearbox\Borderlands\saves" folder and copying them to "C:\Users\Arie\My Dropbox\Game Saves\Borderlands". After the files are moved we want to delete the now empty saves folder. Once the folder is gone open up elevated command prompt (run it as administrator). Now were going to remake the saves folder we just deleted but were going to make it so that anything that accesses this folder is actually accessing the Borderlands folder in our dropbox. In command prompt type the following. Code: mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Gearbox\Borderlands\saves" "C:\Users\Arie\My Dropbox\Game Saves\Borderlands" You should now see that the saves folder shows up again, but if you open it you should see all of your saves that you copied to your dropbox folder. If you would ever want to undo this you simply delete your saves folder, create a new regular folder and copy the files back from your dropbox. Be careful though, you want to delete the dummy folder which in this case would be the saves folder deleting the borderlands folder in dropbox the files will disappear since it is where the files are actually stored. Worst case scenario you could just restore it from the recycle bin.
No, I was just using photos as an example since gamesaves are usually saved in unheard of long directories thus making the tutorial more complicated. Thanks?
