Cannot move files between dropbox and Backup
Hello, before I did it quietly, but since the transition to Dropbox Backup took place, through the web page it is no longer possible to transfer dropbox files and put them in the backup folders or vi...

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Mike1975, the Dropbox Backup feature and the normal syncing folder are considered to be separate sections.
This means that you can't move files to or from either location via the site.
If you want to move files from a Backup into the main Dropbox page, you'll need to find the actual files on your computer, and then move them manually. This will delete them from the Backup, and add it to the Home Movies folder.
Yes, and it's a shame because it was a very useful feature that as you can see many people used. That way I was able to transfer files into my DropboxBackup even from a second pc without but without having to download the Dropbox Backup on it too (because maybe it's my mother's pc...).
Please restore it!
