How can we back up our Dropbox data to another cloud service?

[AlvinOlson]

I promise I searched for an answer before posting this.

We use Dropbox for department collaboration, and that works great for us.

The issue we are running into is with backups and versioning.

We need to be able to back up those cloud files to another cloud backup solution, or within Dropbox.

The current Dropbox Backup is a cloud solution for backing up local files to the Dropbox Cloud.

We need to backup the Dropbox Cloud data to a different cloud storage service.

We are backing up locally, but not all Dropbox files get synchronized back to the local computers.

We ended up just backing up shortcuts and link files to the cloud.

Does anyone know of a solution?

Dropbox doesn't have the ability to sync to other cloud storage services. You'll either need to use a third-party service such as MultCloud, Barracuda, etc., for cloud-to-cloud backup, or make sure you have at least one computer syncing all files locally and then backing up that computer using whatever method works best for you.

There are a number of third-party backup tools that can be used to back up your Dropbox files to another cloud storage service. Some popular options include: Backupify, Gs Richcopy360, Cloudfuze, and Rclone.

It's always a good practice to thoroughly evaluate any third-party services or tools before using them, and to ensure they meet your security, compliance, and data protection requirements.
