Hi there infini - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us.

 

It sounds like you're referring to the older version of the Dropbox Backup feature. Have you tried the updated version by any chance?

 

If not, could you give it a go and let us know if it improves matters at all? 

 

Thanks so much!

Hello, Walter! Thank you for the response. Sorry, I have the latest version of Dropbox installed, I installed it this week, and it has this 'new' backup feature (I suppose it’s updated, right?)... but I just opened the link you sent... it seems there is a 'secret' version of Dropbox Backup, is that it? 😵 I'll try to install and test it... but I'm still a bit worried because, anyway, Dropbox Backup has some limitations compared to the normal folder; I hope at least the synchronization is bidirectional. Thanks!
