# sudo ln -s ~/Dropbox /Volumes/exthd/Dropbox
Set up Dropbox account with “on demand” setting. Move Dropbox account back to main drive. Set up Archive directory to “on demand sync” in dropbox. Index each folder of the Archive directory into DT databases. Move Dropbox account from the main drive to the external HD and move the Archive directory to it (/Volumes/exthd/Dropbox/Archive/).
There is no enough storage space on MBP to sync full Archive database.
There is no enough storage space on iMac to put the Archive directory on my Dropbox. MBP: To be able to search Archive directory and if something is found, download it “on demand”. External 6000gb spinning HD with an Archive directory (/Volumes/exthd/Archive/) with some big folders (50-250gb each). Main drive 512gb SSD with Dropbox account. But DT currently does not support on-demand downloads on Mac (DTTG does though). I want to one-way sync a huge archive index-only database on my desktop, to a low storage space MBP.
I’m currently testing DT and want to share an eureka moment I had, maybe could help someone.
