Can I backup a folder inside my iCloud Drive to Dropbox?

I want to backup my Obsidian files and was wondering if there is a way to automatically backup the Obsidian folder inside my iCloud Drive to Dropbox?   I'm on a Mac.   Thanks for any help!

    Not via Dropbox (or iCloud) no, you'd need to use a third party tool to do that.

Is there a way to automatically copy / back up the files? I don't need syncing, only backup.
