How can I backup the Dropbox folder on external drive?

Hi

 

I'm using Dropbox Beta on my Mac. The dropbox folder is in Library/Cloudstorage. I can't change it in this version. But I want to backup the hole Data from Dropbox to a externel drive.

I did not find out how. Is there any solution?

 

Thanks for help

  • Not via Dropbox, no. 

     

    You would need to use a third party tool (if such exist) that would download everything to the computer and then replicate to another drive.
