Enforce Dropbox Backup company-wide

Hi.

We recently enabled Dropbox Backup to our organization.

We are wondering if it's possible to enforce it enabled or to at least set it auto enabled for selected folders.

 

Thanks

 

  • Hey lorenzomilesi, hope you’re doing great.

     

    From what I understand, you’re on a Dropbox team and you’d like to make sure Dropbox Backup is enabled for everyone. Did I get it right? 

     

    While you can enable Dropbox Backup for all of your team with the steps you also linked above, I’m afraid it’s not possible to enable it automatically for specific folders. 

     

    I can pass this as feedback though to our team for you. 

     

    If you need something else, let me know.

      Thank you Nancy. I expected it...

      Any way to tweak this setting, via configuration files or something alike?

        Unfortunately, this isn’t possible at the moment, lorenzomilesi. Rest assured though I’ve passed all of your comments to our team, so that they can take this into account in the future.
