I wanted to make my OSX Desktop a folder in my Dropbox, so it always syncs. * I cleared all the files from my Desktop to ensure I don't delete anything when I do this. * Remove the default OSX Desktop folder, which is in your /Users/<username./Desktop. So, I `sudo rm -rf ~/Desktop`, which is a DANGEROUS OPERATION, so you may want to [read about it](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_(Unix)). * Then, `ln -s /Users/<myUserName>/Dropbox/Desktop /Users/<myUserName>/Desktop`. This creates a link. This creates a symbolic link where the default desktop used to be. It now points the Dropbox folder. Now, OSX displays the contents of the `Desktop` folder in my Dropbox as my standard Desktop. Easy enough ~
