On my notebook I currently have the dropbox setup to the defaults (/home/scott/Dropbox). Then I have the Docs and Pictures inside that dropbox folder.
On /home/scott/Documents & /home/scott/Pictures are exact copies of what is inside the /dropbox.
I have it set up this way in case Dropbox tanks, at least I still have copies of the data.
However I'm out of space on the hard drive, so something has to go.
Option #1 - Can I set up Dropbox to be located off /home/scott and just use the already established /home/scott/Documents & /home/scott/Pictures directories?
Option #2 - maintain the /home/scott/dropbox but instead delete /home/scott/Documents & /home/scott/Pictures, and set it up so when I click on the empty folder of /home/scott/Documents & /home/scott/Pictures they automatically point to the respective folders in /scott/dropbox
Yes I know there is an Option #3 (Buy a bigger hard drive), but that requires funds!!
