Hi everyone, I'm still struggling with Dropbox Backup. With some success I've backed up some of my hard drives but as I was adding more I had this stopping me. 



I'm using DropBox for Business as a 4 member team, only devices I connect to my DropBox are my computer and my phone.

Best wishes, DanĂ­el
