backup in secondary external drive
hello, I am using dropbox it is synced to my laptop I am syncing only the folders needed all others are only on cloud and not copied to laptop drive I want to have a cbackup of all my dropbox on ...
thank you.
but what will happen in the future when I will plugin the drive in order to sync the changes?
the purpose is to have another external drive as a backup and it will be synced from time to time to latest content of my dropbox so it will be updated and be sure to have backup of the cloud.
I hope there is a way or workaround for it
what if I will install another instance of dropbox on my laptop that will be connected to this drive? and every time I plugin the drive this instance will make the sync to the drive?

That would depend on how you backed up the files in the first place, and since Dropbox doesn't have that capability, we really can't provide an answer.

Dropbox does not (and cannot) work like that. Dropbox doesn't have the means to create a backup to another drive. It itself can backup an external drive to your Dropbox, but not the other way around.
You're going to need to come up with your own solution or find a third-party app that will accomplish it for you.
thank you
very bad
paying for getting full solution...
i am surprised that no such requirement from customers to dropbox
since I guess I am not the only ont to concern what will happen if dropbox will lost all its servers... disasters can happen...
