Now we’re going to configure Dropbox so that it does not sync that particular folder.

As illustrated in the screenshot below, I gave my folder a particularly descriptive name – no_sync.

Somewhere in there – it doesn’t matter where – create a folder where you want to upload files but do not want them to sync with your computer. Open the Dropbox folder on your computer.If you’ve already created a folder like that you can skip down to the second part below, Uploading to Dropbox. The first step, and you only have to do it once – is to create a Dropbox folder that will not sync with your computer. The steps and screenshots used below are from Windows, but if you’re using a Mac you’ll be able to follow along with no problem at all.
This detailed guide will explain how to upload files of any size to Dropbox without the need to have them always syncing with a PC or Mac.īoth the procedure and the software we’ll be using will work whether you’re on Windows or a Mac.
