Can two computers be backed up to Dropbox on the same backup folder?

Can two computers be backed up to Dropbox on the same backup folder?

Hello group,
I am using Dropbox pro on my MacBook and am doing the backup. Very good!
So, now I have a second MacBook, and I want them both to ne identical. I am restoring the files from my Mac 1 to Mac 2, but every time I start backing up Mac 2 it is creating a new, separate Backup… I want both macs to use the SAME backup on dropbox, so when I make a change on 1, it is automatically also changed on 2.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Boris

Hey @DrNo42, thanks for posting your question to our Community.

 

At the moment, what you'd like to do, is not possible with Dropbox backup. Each computer can only have its own backup folder.

 

However, you should be able to access Mac 1's backup folder from this page even from Mac 2 and vice versa.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!
