Cannot move files between dropbox and Backup
Hello, before I did it quietly, but since the transition to Dropbox Backup took place, through the web page it is no longer possible to transfer dropbox files and put them in the backup folders or vi...

Yes it's true but before now you could do it and it was even more convenient since you put the file directly into the folder you wanted instead of putting it first in the Dropbox one and then in the Documents folder for example.

Hey Briskola, thanks for your feedback on this - it's been noted in our system.

Nope, this is the situation, I'd like to modify backed up folder from the web too like before this changes, since it now redirect to the relative Dropbox Backup page when I open a backed up folder

Hi Briskola, currently it isn't possible to modify any files in the backup from the Dropbox site.
This can only be done when changing the files directly on your machine, which will then sync to that backup with the changes.
Your feedback and comments are greatly appreciated!

I've been a paying customer for many years and the removal of this function is rediculus.
I'll be using other cloud service providers.
It's not a wise strategy to change things that work well.
Dropbox used to be good.
Underline "used to"...
PS. Spare me the generic answer, thanks.
