Backup Dropbox files to an external hard drive
How can I go about making a backup copy of my files that I uploaded to Dropbox to an external hard drive?
If you are downloading from the web you can just change your downloads location
ie. Safari > Preferences > General > File Download Location > Select your external hard drive location.
Hope this helps ;)

Rich R. .. Thanks for your efforts, but please check if you can provide a solution to my situation, of which the facts are:
- I'm seeking to backup my Dropbox content to an external wireless drive (Seagate Wireless Plus)..
- I need the backup to be in a form which allows me Read/Write access to the copy of my Dropbox on the external wireless drive; in other words, I should be able to double click on my copy of Dropbox on the external wireless drive, and be able to view all the files and folders in there, just as I would on the Dropbox folder on my computer..
- I need the Dropbox that will exist on my external wireless drive to behave as a normal Dropbox folder, in other words, I should be able to save files to it, change files on it, and so on, and for such files to sync with the self-same copies of Dropbox where ever they "live".
The warning I got from the Dropbox help files that I should only install Dropbox on the same hard drive on which the operating system 'lives'; that installing Dropbox on an external file, will cause Dropbox not to work.
There seems to be a utility called "Boxifier", but I see some traps ahead if I use that. It purports to be able to save any file the user chooses to Dropbox. Please advise. <EndOfMessage>
