Take Ubuntu as an example. To synchronize all files under/home/zhu/Documents/UbuntuConfiguration:
1. Install Dropbox and configure it accordingly. Assume that the file to be synchronized by Dropbox is/home/zhu/Dropbox.
2. Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open a terminal and enter the command ln-s/home/zhu/Documents/UbuntuConfiguration/home/zhu/Dropbox.
In this case, an icon should be added to/home/zhu/Dropbox:
Dropbox will be automatically synchronized. In the same way, you can create multiple connections to synchronize Multiple folders.
Cancel synchronization:
Delete/home/zhu/Dropbox/UbuntuConfiguration directly on the terminal (rm-rf/home/zhu/Dropbox/UbuntuConfiguration)
