Hi VicSel, thanks for posting!

 

As long as you're not backing up the same folders via the Dropbox app and the iCloud one, then you're all clear to remove it.

 

You can check the folders currently backing up with Dropbox with these steps

 

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for your response,

My object is to deinstall MS OneDrive as stated in my original email. Clicking on the Drop Box icon redirects me to File Explore/ DropBox/ files where I see the little green check marks next to each folder ( I assume that is backing up to Dropbox). 

I just want to make sure that Dropbox is backing up properly before I deinstall one drive and MS office 365. 

Thank you,

VicSel

    Hey VicSel! Hope it’s OK to jump in here. 

     

    Dropbox and OneDrive are two separate cloud syncing services, so removing one of them from your computer shouldn’t affect the other. 

     

    If you still want to check your Dropbox app’s syncing status though, and make sure everything’s working properly, you can hover over the small Dropbox icon in your system tray (where your clock settings are), and see if it says “Up to date”.

     

    Hope this helps!
