Using Dropbox features without the desktop app being installed

I am not able to download software on my work computer but utilize Dropbox via the web daily. I would love any tips to incorporating the newest features without the app

    Hi AndreaFort, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    What features are you referring to exactly? 

     

    Without installing the Dropbox desktop application, the majority of the syncing features and backups cannot be used just via the site alone.

     

    This will help me to assist further!
