OpenClaw File Syncing with Dropbox

This video covers how to use Dropbox to sync OpenClaw files between your Mac Mini and your other machines — giving you easy access to agent configs, skills, workspace files, and the BRAIN folder without screen sharing or SSH. The key decision: creating a separate Dropbox account for OpenClaw rather than sharing your personal one, keeping sensitive files completely walled off from your agents.

The core technique is symlinking. You'll see how to move key OpenClaw files into a Dropbox folder, then create symlinks back to where OpenClaw expects them — so files sync across all your Macs automatically while OpenClaw still finds everything in place. This lets you edit skills in Cursor, check agent configs, review session logs, and work on files with Claude Code, all from your local machine.

Topics covered in this video:

• Creating a dedicated Dropbox account for OpenClaw (separate from personal files)
• The OpenClaw folder structure: agents, workspace, skills, openclaw.json, and BRAIN
• Symlinking OpenClaw files into Dropbox so they sync while staying accessible to the agent system
• Editing skills, configs, and session logs locally on your main Mac
• Security through separation — keeping personal and sensitive files out of reach
• Using the Mac Mini setup guide as a starting point for your own environment
