Hey juliemahault, thanks for posting your question to our Community!
About the backup feature you're looking for, you can take a look at our external drive backup feature, to see if that suits you.
Also, files you add to Dropbox are not altered in any way, when uploaded.
And you can easily access them through our desktop client, our website and mobile app.
Let me know if you still have any questions.

Hi Hannah,
Thank you very much for your feedback!
From what I understand Dropbox allows you to backup the contents of an external drive. However, I don't have the impression that the automatic synchronization of the external drive and the cloud is possible. Could you please confirm this, I'm not sure I'm getting this one right.Many thanks

Hey Julie!
Indeed, you can only make changes to your files in the external drive, but you cannot make changes to your backed up files in the cloud, so I guess the sync would be one-way, in this case.

So the files in the cloud won't back up automatically from the external drive?
Many thanks
