I have a dual boot machine Ubuntu/Windows.
Dropbox installed on both OSes.
The problem "My Dropbox" folder is duplicated for each OS and takes twice as much disk space.
How can this be solved?
- brown9-2 16y agoMeaning you have Dropbox setup on both operating systems and you don't like that the contents of the folder appear twice on your hard drive (on the linux partition and on the Windows one)? This is pretty much how Dropbox is intended to use so it might be hard to avoid. You can look into selective sync to choose which files get shared to which computers.
- nivertech 16y agoyes, I can mount my Windows partition on Ubuntu, but I'm not sure Dropbox folder on Ubuntu can be moved to overlay exactly Windows Dropbox ... Something to think about it for next version of Dropbox.
- pronoiac 16y agoYou should try making ~/Dropbox a symbolic link to the Windows Dropbox directory - ln -s [path to windows directory] ~/Dropbox
