Viewing backup files on mobile app
Hi, all! I have some old flash drives that I just backed up on my MACBOOK. They appear in DropBox Backups. I can’t figure out how to view the backups in my mobile app. I can see the file names in my mobile app. But, when I click on them, it simply takes me to the general list (camera uploads, documents, etc.) TIA!
Hi @trover222, yes, the Backups are visible through the browser only.
Files synced through the normal Dropbox site can be accessed via the mobile app.

FYI I've converted the concept proposed by mbriney and jarrod kile into an "idea" which can be upvoted here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ideas/View-dropbox-backups-on-app/idi-p/762404
Strongly agree with this complaint about the new dropbox backup.
dbox_It’s been over two years since they offered this feature. Stop using it as a selling feature in your advertising…
