Re: External drive auto backup

External drive auto backup

Can anyone please advise how I set up external drive auto backup? I originally saw the box pop up, asking if I wanted Dropbox to automatically back up the drive, but I clicked No. Now I've changed my mind, how do I set this up? Thanks in advance.

The ticket #19482924 I received this yesterday without the issue having been addressed. I replied that I had been very dissatisfied with my experience.

I found an email from Nathaniel this morning providing me with a link to install an updated version of the Dropbox desktop app. My reply to that email today: "Thank you for the link to the desktop application update, Nathaniel. I’ve installed it, signed out of Dropbox via Accounts, restarted my computer, made sure that "Show setup notifications when new external drives are plugged-in” is selected, plugged in my external drive, which is formatted HFS+ and connected via a USB-C cable, and still it is not recognized. I’ve looked for it from within the desktop app preferences and also opened my account via the website The problem is NOT resolved. I give up! This is a waste of my time!!"
