Storage Space
Looking for help with managing the storage space in your Dropbox account? Talk to the Dropbox Community and get advice from members.
My Dropbox is full (because of backups) and I want to transfer the backups to my external hard drive backup storage instead. How do I access the backups and do that?

You can access your backups from the Backups page.
Hey @Ian McK, thanks for reaching out to us.
There's no way to directly transfer or move your backups to an external drive.
You can access and download them to your computer from your backups page and then move them to the location you prefer.
I hope this helps!
