Hi folks

What exactly does dropbox save?
Im new to cloud services, so go gentle with me 🙂

I have many personal apps (banking, money transfers, bill payments etc) all secured using fingerprint/facial rec)
Does dropbox save those apps?
If I ever lost my android, can I reload those apps back onto a new phone using dropbox?

I know dropbox saves files/photos/music etc....but I cant find if it saves apps

Hi @hrpuffnstuff 

Welcome!

 

No, Dropbox doesnt save the apps or the app data unless the app itself has a backup tool which will upload to Dropbox. Dropbox will only upload and save images on your camera roll.
