How can I sync my Mac desktop automatically to Dropbox?
in the past i was able to sync my Macbook desktop to dropbox automatically so anything i creat on my mac desktop will sync to a file in dropbox without me actively draging the file to dropbox (same was for my Mac native download file). This features apeears to be still working in windows but my mac intel on Sequoia 15.2 does not seem to support it. This feature was a game changer as it was like having iCloud but for people who use multiple operating systems.

Hi u49aa2, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
It sounds like you're referring to the Dropbox Backup feature.
Have you enabled that on your Mac device?
This will help me to assist further!

hi i did .. the problem with drobox backup feature is that its only accessbable via desktop .. not accesble via the mobile app .. i used to be able to access my macbook desktop from the app so i can modify things in my phone and automatically sync to my mac desktop
