How do I see files uploaded via "Dropbox Backup" on my iPhone?

On my Mac in addition to the regular Dropbox folder, I also have my Desktop and Documents folder syncing to Dropbox.  That's all fine, but I don't see how I can see/access those files from the Dropbox iPhone app.  Can this be done?


Here's a screenshot of what it looks like on the Mac:

    Hi bgreenstone, thanks for posting here today! 

     

    You should be able to access your Backup page online via your mobile's browser, in order to have a look at your files there.

     

    Have you tried it? If not, feel free to give it a go. 

     

    If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help!

      Hey bgreenstone, you can find them by using your Backup page online via your mobile's browser.

       

      They're not available in the iPhone app.

    Thanks, but where do I find that in the app? All I see is the Files area which only shows what’s in the regular Dropbox folder.

      Hi bgreenstone!

       

      At the moment, you won't find a dedicated area with your Backups in your mobile app. 

       

      I hope this clarifies!

        So, how do I find those files? Are they not available on the iPhone app?
