On my desktop imac, I made a backup in the Dropbox app of an external drive and this one is visible on my Imac in the Dropbox app , but I don’t see this external drive on my IPhone in the Dropbox app

How can I make this external drive visible on my IPhone in the Dropbox app?

Hey there @jan m.17 - thanks for dropping by our Community and happy Monday!

 

I'm afraid there's no way to have your backed up (external) drives show up in the Dropbox mobile app at this time. You'll be able to access them via a web browser through your backups page though.

 

I hope this helps!

Thanks Walter, that’s a pity, but now I can relieve it of my mind.
