![]() In this example, when I take a screenshot on my first Mac, it will automatically appear on the second Mac without me having to transfer or duplicate files to and from my Dropbox folder. Now whenever you save a file from your first Mac, you will see it on your second Mac as long they both are connected to Dropbox. After deleting it, drag and drop the parent directory of the deleted folder to your Terminal.For example on the first Mac, I sync my ‘Desktop’ folder, which now I can access from my second Mac via Dropbox, so I will delete the original Desktop folder on my second Mac. Make sure you make a backup first though, just in case. Now leave your Terminal, open Finder and locate the folder you want to sync with your second Mac, and delete it.Drag and drop the folder you have already sync’ed with Dropbox in the previous steps, to your Terminal.From your second Mac, open your Terminal and type the line "ln -s".Make sure you have done the previous steps on your first Mac.If you own more than one Mac and you want to make sure every Mac has the same settings or the same files in it to save time, you can use this method. In this example, I sync’ed my Desktop folder, so whenever I take a screenshot, it will automatically sync with Dropbox. Open your Dropbox folder to see the shortcut to that folder that has been created. After you hit enter, nothing happens, but the next time you save a new file in your selected folder, it will be sync’ed with Dropbox. The final line that will appear on your Terminal should be " ln -s " ![]() Now you have the path to your Dropbox folder in your Terminal.
