The Dropbox Backup overview says: "Dropbox Backup lets you back up any file or folder on your computer or device to the cloud. ". But the PC backup only allows specific folders to be selected. How to I backup the folder "c:\ImportantFolder"? What am I missing? Thanks.Solved2.5KViews0likes13CommentsIs it possible to backup an entire drive, like my OS drive?
Hey guys, Been using Dropbox from day 2. I looked at the dropbox back up system, it looks like its more "desktop" "documents" folder kinda thing. I was interested in if there was a process for say: Cloning my OS drive and backup to dropbox (doesnt have to be a backup file can just be regular dropbox file if you get my meaning. I am toying with instead of just using dropbox for my work drive but to have a back up of say the OS and and maybe another drive just to have them cloned and ready to go if ever I needed it. Obviously DB doesn't have the TB for backing up everything so happy with just my OS Drive and one more. Is there way to automate this other than just saving the cloned file to dropbox folder? Are there any Integrations that do this? Thanks for time!Solved567Views0likes1CommentHow can I backup our entire Enterprise Dropbox account?
We are planning to use Dropbox for our enterprise storage and file solution. We expect to have about 100TB of data across the world. For regulatory purposes and because the cloud is not a backup (at least from our view) wen want to have a backup of all the files. We need to be able go have backups for certain files 10 years back. We are using Veeam for all other backups. How do other companies handle this issue? I am thinking of two sulutions: Have a VM with dropbox sync and then backup the VM Use a Synology NAS with CloudSync as a backup Any other, better ideas?709Views1like2CommentsHow to view Backup folder on DropBox app?
Greetings community! Previously, I used to be able to see my Mac represented on my Dropbox as a folder (I had enabled the backup option). This was super convenient because I could easily access my files on-the-go using my Dropbox iPhone app. However, due to a computer issue, I needed to wipe my MacBook Pro clean and reinstall everything (including Dropbox). I enabled backup for my MacBook. However, now, it doesn't show me the MacBook folder like it used to. So I can't access my files on the go. It shows me that I have backed up my files and I am able to see them through a web browser. However, the folder representing my MacBook (backup) has stopped showing on Dropbox. Is this due to some update in how backups work now for Dropbox on Mac? How do I get the backup folder to start showing up on Dropbox again. Thanks!6.4KViews1like23CommentsSyncing issues between my Dell XPS17 laptop and my mobile and tablet devices
Hi, This is the first time I’m posting and really need some help please regarding synching issues between my Dell XPS17 and my smartphone, Samsung Galaxy.The problem is that the entire Dell XPS17 backup does not show up anywhere in my mobile Dropbox app....so since the Dell XPS17 backup does not appear on any of the mobile Dropbox apps.... I am completely unable to access any of the files of my laptop backup (using Dropbox Backup desktop app) on any of my mobile devices.And I need to be able to access all the files backed up on Dell XPS17 on my mobile apps (i.e. phone and tablet) so I can continue to do all my work when I am not in front of my desk.So I need everything from Dell XPS17 (that is backed up on Dropbox desktop app and Dropbox Backup desktop app) to sync with my Dropbox account (so I can access that backup on my phone and tablet when I use Dropbox to access the files on my pc (which is called Dell XPS17) when I use Dropbox mobile app on my phone.So it might be some sort of sync issue where Dropbox Backup properly syncs everything on my PC (aka Dell XPS17) but does not sync properly so that when I use Dropbox mobile app I cannot access Dell XPS17 files at all on my mobile device. Thank you for anyone that can please point me in the right direction or provide any help.Solved1.4KViews1like1CommentWhy can't I access Dropbox Backup on the mobile app?
Hello, In the older version of Dropbox - Mac Folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads were automatically uploaded into Dropbox and accessible via the Mobile App. Now you can only Backup these folders and access them via the web here -https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all This isn't streamlined at all - I really suggest and hope that you return to the previous version where these Mac folders were automatically included in Dropbox and accessible by the Mobile App.665Views1like2CommentsAuto backup not working on my windows pc
