Back up of Dropbox to a Network Attached Storage

Hi Community,

 

Is it possible to back up files from Dropbox to a Network Attached Storage?

 

We need our files to be back up somewhere else.

 

Thank you.

    Hey constantinos, sorry to jump in here.

     

    Dropbox and OneDrive (or any other file syncing service) do not work together.

     

    You can manually copy your files to OneDrive if you wish, but the two services won't be linked/synced to each other.

    Hey constantinos, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

     

    The easiest way to backup your files in Dropbox to a NAS would be to manually copy (upload) them there.

     

    If you'd like a live backup though, you might need to use a 3rd party app or integration to achieve what you had in mind. 

     

    You can also search the Community or other forums on the internet for possible solutions.

     

    I hope this helps!

      Hey Walter,

       

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      How would I achieve a live back up through a third party integration?

       

      Are there any instructions on how to do this?

       

      Kindly waiting for your reply.
