Following that instruction mentioned above I have only one question.
/c/dropbox should be folder to sync and /c/.dropbox should be folder with dropbox sources. I've started dropbox and linked it with my account.
Two issues thou:
1. /c/dropbox has another folder within called Dropbox where is all my stuff to sync. How to get rid off that another /Dropbox folder and simply sync to /c/dropbox?
2. /c/dropbox also has .dropbox folder with *.db and pid etc. How to move this to /c/.dropbox folder?
EDIT
Or maybe I should make /c/.dropbox home directory of dropbox user and mkae symbolic link /c/.dropbox/Dropbox to /c/Dropbox? So from Lan I could reach it \\nas\Dropbox. What would be better solution?
EDIT2:
Small workaround with samba shares did the trick ;)
