Re: Dropbox Backup and Time Machine (Mac OS)

Hi Markeee - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

The Dropbox Backup feature creates a copy of your files in Dropbox, but leaves the original files on your computer or external hard drive too so it shouldn't cause any issues to your Time Machine and its backups. 

For more information about this, you can have a look here and please feel free to let us know if you have any follow up questions.  

Cheers!
