MacBook Air / Dropbox transfer conundrum

[RRH]

Chaps (and girls),

I'm facing a minor dilemma with dropbox since I've switched to a macbook air from my trusty Pro.

In essence, it relates to transferring data so is probs a one-off issue.

What I want to do is copy all of my photos and music in to dropbox - circa 200gb in all. Since Dropbox upgraded from 100gb to 1Tb the other day this is now do-able, or so I thought.

Now how I'd usually do it is just transfer in to my dropbox folder on the Mac and it'd sync.

However, I only have 128gb SSD in the macbook, and c30gb free.

Is there a way I can send the 200gb+ to dropbox (it's on NAS and USB drive at the moment)?

I've tried doing it through the web interface but it doesn't seem to want to unpload directories, just files.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for that.
Will try the alias thing.

Web upload won't do the directories, just individual files.

Ok, will try again, I tried yesterday and it wouldn't do it. Maybe browser specific, will try safari. Thanks again.

That works for web uploads, but if I turn it off on the MBA I can't see the folder to upload to!

I've decided to try and de-dupe the music collection first, makes sense to me
