Backing up of more than one drive
Is it really true that I can only back up one drive, even though I have folders on my C drive and E drive?
That seems rubbish.
I have two internal drives.:
C: Drive includes systems files as well as Documents, Pictures, Music etc
I also have an E: drive which has also got Documents, Pictures etc.
I want to be able to point Dropbox to both drives so that I get automatice back ups.
As far as I can tell, from numerous searches in the Dropbox support information, there is nothing to suggest I can't do that.
However after months of trying to use it for backups, Dropbox Backup is not truelly an appropriate name, as it appears very limited in its use for this....

Dropbox StaffThanks for clarifying. When it comes to internal drives, it’s only possible to back up specific folders of your C: drive, and if you’re on Backup Beta, you can also back up any folder that’s nested under your Home directory.
Other than that, there’s the external drive backup feature, with which you can plug an external drive to your computer, and Dropbox will ask if you wish to back up its content.
Since I understand this isn’t what you want though, I’ve logged your feedback with our team, so that they can take your comments into account.
