I am considering Dropbox as an ADDITIONAL cloud backup resource. I am confused how to best start this. Also, I do not want to disable my iCloud - I want BOTH iCloud and DropBox cloud backups active. I'd appreciate sme guidance even a simpleton like me can understand. Thank you!
Hi @BBrier78
Simply put here if you want the same files in both iCloud and Dropbox you cannot I'm afraid. It will cause corruptions and data loss.
You need to use one or the other.

Thank you, Mark! I want one additional backup to my iCloud and TimeMachine. Unfortunately, iCloud had a hiccup that is too difficult to describe. I want to keep using it - monitored closely - since it is well integrated with my Apple products.
