Dropbox folder sync
Sync a local folder with Dropbox without blindly overwriting files
When a working folder and its Dropbox copy have both changed, start with a preview. FileLever connects directly to the Dropbox account you authorize, compares the selected locations, and makes the next sync decision visible before files move.
Available now on macOS. Windows and Linux are planned. Your files stay under your control.
Dropbox is a direct FileLever integration; a locally synced Dropbox folder is not required.
Preview changes and exclusions before the sync starts.
Remote writes and mirror cleanup require explicit authorization and confirmation.
A deliberate workflow
A clear path from review to action
-
Choose Dropbox from the folder picker
Sign in to the Dropbox account you want to use and authorize the access needed for the folder and action you select.
-
Choose the local and Dropbox folders
Set the folder that should define the current version as the source and the location you want to update as the target.
-
Set exclusions and preview
Exclude generated or unrelated files, then review files to sync, target-only files, and unchanged files before any transfer starts.
-
Choose copy/update or mirror
Use copy/update to preserve target-only files. Choose mirror only when the target should match the source and you have reviewed its target-only files.
Use the safer default
Copy/update preserves target-only files, which suits backups and archives that may have legitimate extras.
Mirror with intent
Make an exact replica only after checking every target-only file and your Dropbox recovery settings.

Common questions
Before you start
Do I need the Dropbox desktop app?
No. FileLever connects directly to the Dropbox account you authorize for this workflow.
Can I preview a Dropbox sync before changing files?
Yes. FileLever shows files to sync, target-only files, and unchanged files before you confirm a copy/update or mirror run.
See the files first. Decide what happens next.
