Hey aaronbrashear - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!
I'm afraid there's no way to do this at this time, but thanks for your feedback on this.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi Walter, circling back.
I understand there's not currently a true back up scheduler, but is there a way in the web or local app prefs to prioritize backups? Such as placing an important client folder that is accessed bu both vendor (me) and client daily with lots of changes?
Rather than the syncing of everything that has changed on the entire account?
Good example is I have an "outgoing" folder in my DropBox account for my client to access files I am releasing to them. Quite often, DropBox is updating and syncing everything at once, so the access to the files for the client are delayed or not fully sync'd when they access them.
Is there a solution/work around for this? Is this something that's being developed?
Thanks,
Aaron
