How to upload SMS (text) messages to Dropbox

How can I use Dropbox to backup my text messages?

  • I'm not aware of any nor have I seen any on here I'm afraid

    I suggest a simple Google Search to see if any such applications even exist.

    You will need to find a third party add on that can download and sync your text messages. Dropbox on its own cant do that

      Can you provide an example of a third party to use in order to transfer selected IPhone text messages to DB in order to print them

    Dropbox has no such feature and likely never will. There are third-party applications that you can use to backup your text messages to Dropbox.
