Hi,

I am using my work computer and I logged in to dropbox using my work team member account. I downloaded the desktop app and my only goal was to create a backup of one folder, so that I can also access it online on Dropbox, in case something happens to the computer.

In that case, you can use the website to upload that specific folder to your account and not use the desktop app at all saravitorina 

 

Or maybe you'd like to use the Dropbox Backup feature?
