    Hi BGCraig, thanks for contacting us!

     

    Currently, it isn't possible to backup your entire computer to Dropbox.

     

    The Dropbox Backup feature only allows certain folders and external drives to be backed up to your Dropbox account.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
