Can Dropbox be used as a backup with Time Machine?
Can dropbox be used for backup with time machine. How do I set it up?
- Its STRONGLY recommended that you dont - there are lots of threads on here about where it doesnt play well.
Its also worth remembering, and pointing out, that Dropbox isnt a back up tool. Its a syncing one and so you really shouldnt rely upon it as a back up one.
I require local backups of my files. Backing up to a single cloud solution is absolutely not an option. (All eggs in one place). I do not use the new file provider option from apple.
I have my full Dropbox content on an external Mac system disk as a temporary solution until storing local Dropbox files on an external disk that is not a Mac system disk is available.
