1. Is it possible to make the 2 x 1tb drive seem like 1 2tb drives


Yes.

Very bad idea though.

You've just halved the overall reliability of the system - lose one driveyou lose both drives worth of data.


My suggestion:

Remove the small drive. Throw it away.

Add in 2 x 4TB drives and configure them as a mirror (RAID-1) and use thatas data storage. Configure the existing 2 x 1TB drives also as a mirrorand use that for the OS, etc.


Optionally; Listen to the cool kids who'll tell you about zfs.

Can't help with dropbox - I gave up on it years ago.
