Viewing PC backup on other computers
Is there a way to include my PC Backup folder in the same Dropbox Folder that I use to access my online files on other computers? The last time I did a PC backup a couple of years ago I could see it ...

On my old computer my Dropbox files automatically backed up from Dropbox to my C Drive into a Dropbox folder under Users on the C drive. I have new computer, and this folder is not there. How do I set up this automatic backup system? Thanks you

Hey MukiwaNigel, thanks for reaching out!
While you can't access your old computer's desktop files from the Dropbox folder of your new computer, if you'd like to set up automatic backup of your new computer's desktop folders, you can follow these steps.
And if you want to access the desktop files of the old computer from the new one, you can do so from your backups page online.
I hope this helps!
