I use it for a lot of things, but where it excels is a filesystem-like access to files on iOS devices, really handy overall.Comment

Am I using Dropbox wrong but the inability to just copy a file structure in makes it next to useless for me? I just cba to re-create the whole lot or add another when I create a new structure.
I can't believe they have missed this trick so maybe I am using it wrong or just not being patient enough on the initial setup?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

I use dropbox a lot - share some pretty huge Photoshop and zip files on it (as in sharing them with other Dropbox users as well as using the Public link feature) and it never lets me down! I'm on the 100GB plan and a lot of contractors I know use the free version.Comment

An example would help.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostAm I using Dropbox wrong but the inability to just copy a file structure in makes it next to useless for me?
