If you’re a hardcore Minecraft player, you want to do everything possible to avoid losing your time-consuming masterpieces. Turns out you can use Dropbox to sync your game saves so they are accessible from any of your computers running Windows, Mac or Linux.
The How-To Geek recently recommended moving your ‘saves’ folder from the default file folder to your Dropbox folder for both backup and making life easier if you play Minecraft from multiple computers.

See the source link below for the command for Windows, Mac or Linux systems.
