How to back up Dropbox into an external server?

I am looking for an App that will let me backup Dropbox for Business into external server. 

I found that I can use Synology Drive Client to do back up into my NAS server.

But the process is very slow.

We do have Back Up through DropBox. But I am looking for additional option to external media. In my case a NAS server. 

 

Any suggestions?

    Hi Amit_Shachaf, I hope you're doing well!

     

    Keep in mind, that Dropbox usually supports internal storage. NAS and other network shares are not actually supported on our end.

     

    That doesn't mean you can't do it. There are methods to make it work, but I can't suggest any. 

     

    My suggestions would be either our external backup, or Synology, but you're already aware of these. I'm going to keep the thread open, in order for other users to be able to share their recommendations and thoughts with you.

     

    I hope this helps!
