    I want to know if my Mac Back-up is duplicating what is already on my hard drive?

      Hi Debraelli, thanks for posting here today! 

       

      Computer backup lets you back up certain key folders, such as “Desktop”, “Documents” and “Downloads” to Dropbox. Any changes you make to those folders on your computer or in Dropbox will continuously sync to both.

       

      You shouldn't be seeing any duplicates, since it already syncs the same content essentially. 

       

      I hope this clarifies!
