Dropbox Backup
1024 TopicsDropbox Backup: end-to-end encryption for smaller plans?
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?29Views1like1CommentDifferences/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 Thanks9Views0likes0CommentsCan you schedule Dropbox back ups from web to local Mac (maxing processor and energy levels)
Can you schedule Dropbox back ups from web to local Mac (maxing processor and energy levels), can I schedule the back ups over time (say a week?) Hello, I have added a new Macbook Pro (used) and begun to sync it with the folders my other Macs and iPad utilize. However it has taken DAYS (and still not 50% done) and taking up 3 times the hard disk space as the actual backup/sync. I have paused it to give the processor and fan a rest. Is there a way to schedule these transfers so I can batch them over several days or a week? My poor Mac is sounding tired! Thanks, AaronSolved152Views0likes3CommentsBackup folder name change
Hello! I have 2 macs, one personal and one for work. Both had backup enabled and when I went online, I saw both computers' backup directories. The directories were both in the format of "My Mac (computername)" However, recently I disabled the Dropbox backup on my work laptop because I didn't think it would be wise to backup my work stuff to Dropbox. But I was subsequently told it was OK, so I re-enabled the backup. While everything was uploaded to Dropbox just fine, the name of the work laptop backup directory is now simply "Mac (2)". I would like to rename the folder to the "My Mac" format I previously had, but it is not letting me rename the folder. Any assistance would be great. Thanks in advance.Solved9.1KViews12likes43CommentsHow 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?361Views0likes3CommentsWhat 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 aiutarmi74Views0likes1CommentMoved 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.130Views0likes3Comments
