Is it possible to use Hazel to move files to an unsynced Dropbox folder?

Can you define "unsynced" in this instance? Do you mean a folder under a synced folder that is selectively not synced? Or do you mean a folder which is not synced to your local drive?

I have some large Dropbox folders that are selectively unsynced (i.e. they're selected NOT to be synced to my local Dropbox folder on my Mac in the Dropbox Preferences).

It's one of these that I want to select in Hazel to move files to.

Does that make it clearer?

It's essentially a more general question about Hazel being able to move files to folders in the cloud, I think?

The folder has to be local. If you are just using it as a destination of a copy/move, then it shouldn't matter if the contents of the folder are not local, but the folder itself has to be there.

Thank you - that's perfectly clear.
