map dropbox folder to drive letter

I am trying to map my www.dropbox.com\photos to a drive letter. I have tried 'net use', or through map drive
in my computer, but I have not been successfull. Any help/ideas/solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sarah

Re: map dropbox folder to drive letter

Dear Sarah,

  Your Dropbox files are stored on your local machine as well as the
cloud.  Hold down the Windows Key and press R.  Type cmd into the
dialog box and press Enter.  A command prompt should open.  On the
command line, type

cd %UserProfile%\My Documents\My Dropbox\Photos
dir /b

and there are your photos!  If you don't want to type in that long
folder name every time, try this command from the Photos folder

subst x: .

and Drive X: should (temporarily) be mapped to that folder,

hth,
John

Re: map dropbox folder to drive letter

I haven't used dropbox ... but if one uploads stuff to the account from
another system/computer, will that get synched too ?

Dear Parag,

  Here's a good explanation I found:

And if anyone wants to sign up to Dropbox (it's free), let me know and
I'll "refer" you,

bye for now,
John

Re: map dropbox folder to drive letter


John,
Thanks for your response. I know that it is a folder on my lcoal computer and I am able to map it on my local
computer. However, I am looking to map the DropBox folder when I connect from another computer with
Internet Explorer. I am using Dropbox for an application and it works great except for this one issue with
mapping the drive. So if anybody can give me any advice it will be greatly appreciated. I have tried other
'clouds', but DropBox is the best , it is incredibly fast etc. WebDrive is an add on for other clouds to map
the drive, but it does not work with Dropbox. So if anybody know how to do this or of an add-on that will work
with DropBox I would appreciate the info.
Thanks
Sarah
