Linux - Symbolic Link + Dropbox

1

I've been making use of sublime 3 recently and would like to leave it standard on all my computers. For this I thought about using the dropbox, which automatically synchronizes if there is any change.

I thought of using the ln -s symbolic links, however I remembered that this would not work, because the symbolic link is nothing more than a shortcut to the contents of the folder, this way if I change some file in the local .config/sublime-text-3 it nothing will do in the dropbox, because it does not even exist there.

Searching a little bit found the #

In this context I wonder if it will be possible to link both because I would be making a symbolic link of several computers to the same location, so what would be the structure of this link file?

Would anyone know how to develop this case?

Ideally, you should have the file you want to share saved in the dropbox, for example:

/home/me/Dropbox/sublime/.config

Then on every computer you intend to use the sublime you overwrite the original sublime file with a symbolic link to the file in Dropbox.
