How can I go about making a backup copy of my files that I uploaded to Dropbox to an external hard drive?

Hi all,

I would like to backup to Dropbox a big folder in my external drive (100GB) that does not fit into my computer (hence it is in the external drive). How can I go about this? Cheer, sara

If you are downloading from the web you can just change your downloads location

ie. Safari > Preferences > General > File Download Location > Select your external hard drive location.

Hope this helps 😉
