How to add files to Dropbox automatically

Because I travel fairly often, I'm trying to make my Mac's important documents open to me regardless of where I am. And I think I've chosen Dropbox being the best way to do that. The problem is that I often forget in order to save these files to my Dropbox folder. Can you suggest any approaches to make saving files to Dropbox easier?

Let's walk through the following guidance to know how to do.

Launch Automator as well as in the workflow template chooser that appears select Service and then click Choose. Configure the top of the workflow to read Service receives no input in any application. From Automator's Library pane choose Files & Folders and then drag the Get Selected Finder Items and Copy Finder Items actions to the workflow area. Open your Dropbox folder (found, by default, with your user folder), and make up a folder for your important files (Important Files, may seem like an appropriate name). Drag this folder on the Copy Finder Items action. Choose File > Save, name the workflow something like Copy To Dropbox, and click the Save button.



 Lauch System Preferences, pick the Keyboard preference, click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab, find the Services entry within the left side in the window, and scroll on the list off to the right until you locate the Copy to Dropbox service you created. Click on the Add Shortcut button and press a keyboard shortcut that you'd love to use to trigger the service.

Now, when you wish to copy files in your Dropbox folder, just select them within the Finder and press this keyboard shortcut.

That's convenient when you wish to move files after you've saved them, but how about saving files to this kind of Dropbox folder straight from within a credit card applicatoin? Here's how.

Within the Finder drag your Important Files folder right into a Finder window's sidebar in order that it appears under the Favorites heading. Launch an application, build a new document, and save it. Within the Save sheet that appears, click the Where pop-up menu and select your Important Files folder (which appears under Favorites) in the resulting menu. Your file is going to be saved and synced with Dropbox.

If there's a little fly on this ointment it's that any time you save a fresh file you will need to click on that Where menu and navigate for a Important Files folder as you can't choose it as a default save location nor assign a keyboard shortcut to it so that you can move for it quickly. Of course which can be addressed with all the correct utility.

And that utility is St. Clair Software's $35 Default Folder X. Using Default Folder you can assign a hotkey to a particular folder and easily navigate to it by pressing that key combination while in a Save or Open sheet. You can also set any folder you like as an application's default save location.

Anticipating comments, no, it's not worth $35 to gain these couple of features. But Default Folder X does far, far more, as explained by our own Dan Frakes:

"This systemwide utility adds much-needed improvements to OS X's Open and Save dialog boxes. As the name implies, it lets you assign a default folder for each application, but it also makes it easy to access recently used and favorite files and folders, as well as open Finder windows, from within Open and Save dialogs."


Now time to talk about how to recover deleted files on Mac OSX
