Tell HN: I symlink'd my Google Drive to my Dropbox folder

3 points by jason_slack 12y ago

Maybe others know this, but I symlink'd my Google Drive folder inside my Dropbox folder and well, now all of my Google Drive content is sync'd with Dropbox. Maybe simple, but this makes me happy. I dont always trust Google to fight for my content if I get locked out or something. cd ~/Dropbox ln -s ~/Google\ Drive/ Google\ Drive/

Why didn't I think of that? Presumably it works the other way too?

  I haven't tried the other way. I would think so, but in practice I cannot confirm.

    You don't want to end up with a circular structure…
    - webmaven 12y ago
      Well, no, you wouldn't want to do both of course...
      - jason_slack 12y ago
        right this is a one-way, not two-way.
