Manage Dropbox as a Virtual Drive
There is subst.exe utility in windows which creates virtual drives of paths associated with them.
You need to make a cmd or bat file with the these 2 lines:
subst /d X:
subst X: “C:\Users\[user]\Documents\My Dropbox”
and put the file in your startup folder (“Start”- type “shell:startup” in the search field) as the command file mounts the folder into a virtual drive. The first line deletes a substituted virtual drive. Youll see a drive X: in this case in My Computer which has Dropbox folders. Thanks to this thread.
Note: the command shown will work on Windows 7, for Windows XP the command has to be “C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\My Documents\My Dropbox”
