Configure Dropbox

To use Dropbox to share files, the users need to download and set up Dropbox on the machines and create Dropbox accounts:

1)Download and install the Dropbox app on your machine.

2)In FrameMaker, select Edit > Preferences.

3)Click Dropbox and set up the following:

a)Dropbox folder path: Once you have installed Dropbox, the default path is automatically there as an option in the drop-down.

b)Delete files from Dropbox after copying locally: When this option is selected, on selecting save locally or save locally with dependencies, the files are deleted from the Dropbox folder on your machine.

c)Create folder structure for dependencies while uploading or downloading: FrameMaker creates a folder structure in the Dropbox folder similar to the one you are uploading or downloading. When this option is not selected, FrameMaker creates the folder structure only for folders that exist at the same level or below as per the document\book\ditamap that you are uploading or downloading. When selected, FrameMaker creates a similar folder structure from the topmost component (folder\file) even for the folders that exist outside or above the file that you are uploading or downloading.
