Differences/Benefits of syncing the Desktop folder vs backing it up?
I just saw and turned on the backup option... I've had the primary my pc/desktop folders UNSYNCED because it seemed redundant from all my primary files/folders I keep within dropbox already but.. The backup I noticed has a rewind feature which may be enough of a benefit, if im understanding it correctly to keep this enabled...ie if i screw something up on the fly while working...i can go in there and rewind whatever file/folder to recover the mistake? That said, is there a separate reason to keep the pc/desktop folder syncing as well? Heres screenshots of both settings for reference: https://ibb.co/8YLy9pJ https://ibb.co/9rBtKy2 Thanks
Is Dropbox Backup Ready?
I only discovered this feature tonight. It doesn't seem to be available for free. Fine, Dropbox Plus up to 2TB for $119.88. That's competitive with others I'm considering. Eight months ago it was still Beta. Is it a decent alternative to Backblaze or Carbonite? I'm not so sure. For one, thing, I don't see support for zero-knowledge backups. Thoughts, folks?
How to back up Dropbox into an external server?
I am looking for an App that will let me backup Dropbox for Business into external server. I found that I can use Synology Drive Client to do back up into my NAS server. But the process is very slow. We do have Back Up through DropBox. But I am looking for additional option to external media. In my case a NAS server. Any suggestions?
What is the empty cloud icon next to my files on my Mac, and how to remove it?
Buongiorno e buona domenica. Ho un problema con il mio Mac e la mia app di Dropbox. Finito l'ultimo aggiornamento del mio Mac, improvvisamente al riavvio mi ritrovo tutti i file e le cartelle (che erano sulla mia scrivania visibili in modalità off-line) con una piccola nuvoletta vuota in basso a destra. Ho letto che è indice di sincronizzazione con dropbox, ai quali posso accedere solo se sono on-line. Premesso che io vorrei disinstallare dropbox , ma vorrei capire come interrompere questa sincronizzazione e riportare i file e le icone allo stato originale senza nessuna nuvoletta e che essi siano visibili off-line come file archiviati sul disco rigido del mio Mac Grazie a chi saprà aiutarmi
Moved my "user" folders from C: to D: and my Dropbox location also to D: but Dropbox backup fails
Hi, I've just moved all my user folders (Documents, Music, Pictures etc..) from the C: drive to D:. I've copied the same path format (eg. C:\Users\smartmove77\Documents is now D:\Users\smartmove77\Documents). I have then changed my dropbox location to the 😧 drive. I have tried to setup the Dropbox Backup function but when I choose all the folders it's showing the following: Strangely the Pictures directory appears to be accepted but all the others are not. How do I proceed from here? Many thanks.
