Recently dropbox just decided to give me 50gb of storage for free not sure why but not complaining. I was wondering if it is possible to automatic backup of  a certain folder in windows.

 Are you using their free account and got upgraded to 50 GB? If so, hopefully they've increased the space for all free accounts!

As far s I know you can only have one dropbox folder. Just store everything in there.

It will also be synced to all other of your devices what gives you even more redundency. I do this with my most critical data I simply can't aford to lose, like the bachelor thesis.

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil
