Can I backup a folder inside my iCloud Drive to Dropbox?
I want to backup my Obsidian files and was wondering if there is a way to automatically backup the Obsidian folder inside my iCloud Drive to Dropbox? I'm on a Mac. Thanks for any help!

Not via Dropbox (or iCloud) no, you'd need to use a third party tool to do that.

In Dropbox Backup I can select folders on my Mac I would like to back up.
Can I select the iCloud folder?

No you cant.
It also isnt possible to sync a cloud backup service to another - you will end up with data loss and corruption.
You will need to manually copy/paste between the two as Megan said.

Is there a way to automatically copy / back up the files? I don't need syncing, only backup.
