Re: Problem with making a local backup of Dropbox folder (version 14.3.17)
Why manual backups? Well, why not? It's my computer, and I'll manage it the way I want to. :slight_smile:
I've been managing computers large and small since 1971, and I'm not to change my ways now.
To each his own. A chacun son goût. Jeder hat seine eigenen Ansichten und seinen eigenen Geschmack.
I have no problem at all with Dropbox writing files into a hidden folder on MY hard drive.
I do have a problem with those files being created in a way that 'breaks' standard Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 functions such as file and folder copy that I am entitled to use on my folders on MY hard drive.
