Access Dropbox Backup on Mobile?

What a shame, dropbox team ruined this feature !

Wait, is that really the solution? I've had a Dropbox backup of my Mac for over a decade and this new Dropbox Backups integration essentially moves those files to a separate location that's inaccessible on mobile? That seems like a huge feature reduction for a change users didn't appear to be able to opt out of. Accessing desktop files on the go is arguably the #1 reason anyone would use a cloud backup service other than redundancy, so this change is confusing, to say the least. Manually duplicating those files to a separate location at the expense of paid storage space is an inefficient workaround.

Honestly surprised at this. Being able to view Backups within the Dropbox mobile app seems like a no-brainer,

Thanks for posting your question here, kevin_kjkadjshfs! 

Just to be on the same page, are you referring to our computer backup feature or have you upgraded your Dropbox account to a Backup plan instead? 

At the moment, it’s not possible to access your backups from your mobile app like you can from the desktop app/website, and unfortunately, I can’t guarantee when, or if, this will change in the future.

However, I can definitely pass this as feedback to our team on your behalf. 

So, for now, you can do what you suggested and create a copy of your computer files within Dropbox, so that you can access them from all devices, like you want to. 

Hope this helps!
