    How to copy and sync my documents to a different location


    I understand there are lots of articles on how to move my documents (or other personal folders) to another location - what I'm interested in is creating another folder in a different partition and have my documents folder files copied (not moved) to the other folder/partition. Then have the two folders synced periodically to keep them up to date. Is that possible?
    Note that I've heard people say it can be done with one of those cloud storage services like dropbox. I'm more interested in having it on my computer rather than in the cloud.

    Thanks.

    :)

    How to sync only .txt files as document type?

    As far as I know, the sync can not differentiate between different types of documents. When you choose sync documents, it syncs all those files that are located in the documents folder
