How to backup entire mac easily
Been using dropbox for years just to backup a specific folder. Now I want to purchase the option to backup my entire computer but when i follow the helpdesk article it tells me to go to preferences, then backup and then it asks me to nominate specific folders. I don't want to chose folders, I want the entire pc backed up (mac). Please advise.

Hey tonyob, welcome to our Community!
At the moment, our Computer backup feature allows you to backup key paths, such as: Desktop, Downloads, and Documents.
However, if you have content outside of these paths that you need to sync to your account, you'd need to place it in the Dropbox folder and allow for it to sync.
I hope this clarifies.
