Data backup and durability

What is the data durability and backup (N, N+1, N+2, ...) provided for different Dropbox tiers?

      That does not help me because it lists details like "how long are deleted files available for?"

      But it does not state the specifics that I am looking for such as number of backups of uploaded files.

        Hi ojdojfwf,

        Haha...😁 You're looking for something that doesn't exist!

        Dropbox is a sync service, NOT backup service. 😉 In spite could be used as some sort of backup it remains sync service. Adding the name backup in a service provided is nothing more than a marketing trick - there is NOT a real backup. So your question cannot get meaningful response. If you're looking for backup service, you're on wrong place. That's it. Don't expect Walter to tell you this (he'll lose his salary if even try).

        Hope this clarifies matter.
