I love Dropbox hacks and write them as and when I encounter one.
I use Windows 7 on my desktop besides using our new 21.5” Apple iMac. And Dropbox is one of the first applications I install on any operating system!
How-To-Geek has shared how to add “My Dropbox” or any link for that matter to your Windows 7 Start menu.
Windows 7 Libraries have a Recorded TV link and this hack just renames it to Dropbox folder giving you easy access to it.
Here’s how to do it:
- Customize Start Menu by going to ‘Properties’ (right click on Start Menu)
- Set ‘Recorded TV’ to be displayed as a link
- Right Click on Recorded TV and change its name to My Dropbox.
- Right click on the My Dropbox and click Properties
- Change the Library location to your Dropbox folder
- Optionally change the ‘Optimize this library for’ to ‘General Items’
This hack enables you to quickly find your Dropbox folder via Start Menu by mouse or by keyboard by search.
