Thanks for posting your questions here, Charsiu!

 

Are you using the updated version of Dropbox Backup? If yes, you should be able to back up any folder that’s located within your device’s home folder.

 

If not, here’s how you can update to the latest version.

 

As for your second question, I’m afraid backing up is restricted to the main C:\ drive at the moment indeed. The only other option available is to back up an external hard drive instead.

 

I can pass your feedback on this though to our team, if you wish. 

 

I’ll be here, if you need something else.
