Sync with hidden folders Fri Sep 01, 2017 11:29 am • by Dave61
I would like to sync a folder in my Dropbox with a folder in my Library (containing save files from a game). Hazel doesn't like this, presumably because it cannot "see" the folder. The rule is set up on the folder in Dropbox.

Which folder can't it see? Library? If so, then try following the instructions here to unhide it: http://www.macworld.com/article/2057221 ... ricks.html

That was easy, thanks.

A follow up: if I set folder A to sync with folder B will a change in B, say a new file, get synced into A? or, do I need to set a rule on B also?

The sync is one way. To do a two-way sync, I suggest specialized software to do that.
