I've done the Simmelink thing before, however, you need to be very careful. As if you are sharing a folder and someone in another state moves that folder you will lose your stuff. I lost about two gigs of stuff when I put a link in a shared folder it uploaded and one of my friends decided to be

However, if you have to only read that is copied the stuff from the drive, you really don't need any extra software. If you were going to write to the drive, then you will need the prior posters piece of software. I believe this was stated a few emails ago, but I could very well be wrong. Hope

Mary, Parigon's NTFS for Mac will do exactly what you're asking, and is roughly about 19 dollars if I recall correctly. I don't have a link on hand, so try Googling it. Chris. - Original Message - From: "Mary Otten" To: "Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility" Sent: Saturday, September 21,

I don't think so. The whole point of Dropbox is to put things inside your Dropbox folder. Chris. - Original Message - From: "Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith" To: "Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility" Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2013 1:44 PM Subject: DropBox Sync Hello everybody Is there

Or better yet build a sim link to do this/ I know I outlined steps on how to do this on the the tech chat list. but basically do this. in terminal type ln -s path to folder, or paste it in after copying the folder to the clipboard from the finder. Tc. On Sep 21, 2013, at 10:50 AM, Zachary Kli

Hi Zach, Copying is all I want to do, but when I posed this question on a different list, I got answers that I couldn't do this, and somebody suggested the thumb drive alternative. Thanks for the help. Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to

Hi Mary, I believe the NTFS access on Mountain Lion is read-only. You can still copy files, just can’t make changes or delete them on the hard drive itself. Will this serve, or do you actually want to clean up the drive? Best, Zack. On Sep 21, 2013, at 11:13 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > I have a har

I have a hard drive that has a lot of data on it that was copied off of a Windows machine over the years. I'd like to be able to copy some of this on to my Mac, but I understand that this is not possible. I can only read the drive, but not access or move files with the native facility of Mountai

Hi Lyn, I’m not sure I follow you. :) As far as I’m aware only items in the DropBox folder or subfolders of same will be synced. It isn’t a general cross-device sync service. Can’t you just put what you want someplace beneath the master folder? Best, Zack. On Sep 21, 2013, at 10:44 AM, Mrs. Lynn
