Connecting Dropbox
You can install the Dropbox client on AWS WorkSpaces, but please remember to use the Dropbox Smart Sync function and only download what you need. You only have 100GB hard drive space on WorkSpaces and your storage can fill up pretty quickly if you don’t check on what is being sync’ed from Dropbox.
