    The ONLY thing that makes them "special" is the DropBox application has asked Windows to monitor those folders/files for changes and tell the DropBox application so it can upload the changed files to the DropBox server.

    If you update a file, in the DropBox folders(s) on Computer A, any copies of that file on Computers B, C, D, etc are now out of date. The DropBox application on Computer A, informed of the changed files(s) by Windows, will upload those changed files to the DropBox server(s). The DropBox application on Computers B, C, D, etc will determine (by communicating with the DropBox server(s)) that the local files (on Computers B, C, D, etc) are out of date and get the new updated files from the DropBox server(s).
    I assume that what ever you just said is true. I will not argue. I will say that I just opened a file at home from drop box that I edited at the office 2 hours ago, on a different computer, and it opened up to the latest changes I had made at the office. So if you agree with what I just said, and you believe what I just said, we are not in dispute. I truly do not understand what you are saying.

    All I am saying is all of my files now reside in drop box, and no matter what computer I use to access those files, when I do access said files, they reclect the latest revisions, and none of the files are on any of my computers, they are on drop box. I have not files except those files which are on drop box.

    Do you agree that what I just stated is true?
