You’ll also want to uncheck the box that says “Display a windows when opening a torrent file”. Check the box next to “Auto add” and choose your Dropbox Torrents folder from the dropdown menu: To set the watch folder in the OS X version of Transmission, go to its preferences and click on the “Transfers” tab. You can name this anything, but I’d suggest just calling it “Torrents”. Now that you’ve got Dropbox and a torrent client installed, you’ll need to create a folder in your Dropbox that will hold the torrent files you want to download. Note: Dropbox is freely available for all platforms, and the basic free version gives you 2GB of storage, more than enough for some torrent files. If you’re running Windows you’ll want to install Dropbox and use a client like uTorrent, which supports folder watching for new torrents.
If you’re running OS X or Linux and you don’t already have Transmission and Dropbox installed, you’ll need to do so, though Transmission is installed by default on many distributions of Linux. What we’ll do is use Dropbox sync to easily get the torrent files from the laptop to the desktop PC at home, and then use the auto-watching feature of Transmission or uTorrent to check for new torrent files in our Dropbox folder. Sure, you could just take a laptop and download it on that, but that’s hardly ideal most of the time. Say you want to download a torrent on your home computer, but you’re away from home.
