Dropbox Backup and Steam Games

Hi  I have Dropbox for Business Advanced and am the admin.

 

I previously turned on Backup on my computer and have no issues with it,

 

I want to turn it on one of my kids computers.  He uses Steam and some of the games have subfolders in the Documents folder.

 

Wil enabling dropbox backup create an issue for these games when the folders are moved to DB?

    It depends on whether or not Steam or the game(s) in question is able to follow the new location of the files. You'll either need to ask Steam or the game developer, or just try it and see if it continues to work. if not, you can always move the folder back to its default location.
