Changing the absolute path for external apps

I am using the duplicator app on my wordpress website. She has a function to save backups on dropbox. Sadly I cant choose the absolute path as I want the backup in the family folder to have access from any account / device on it.

 

This would be great if this would be possible.

Thanks

App folder

A dedicated folder named after your app is created within the Apps folder of a user's Dropbox. Your app gets read and write access to this folder only and users can provide content to your app by moving files into this folder.

    This is something the developer of the app would need to do as it isn't Dropbox that made the app 🙂

    Thanks for your comment. I listened the opposite from the other side 😞

    Unfortunately it is them who need to do it because they build the app using the API for developers. How they use and build it is up to them.

     

    If they struggle with things they can contact support direct who can assist 🙂
