Allow AppData(or any) Folder on my computer to be backed up
There's already another idea but it has been closed. I'm floored this wasn't a easy/obvious idea that I would expect to be implemented many years ago. Why is the backup feature so restrictive on what I can backup? Please (re)consider or I'm curious why not?
One Click Backup Restore
Hello! I was under the impression that I could restore my whole backup with one click when switching to a new MacBook. It turns out, after many bugs (such as only synching one folder, and not giving me options for the others), it is not possible. I also tried downloading the folders individually - and I am met with the error " Attempted to zip too many files" particularly when trying to download and restore my Lightroom Catalog folder. I am going to revert to using offline backup via Time Machine and thankfully I still have access to my old laptop, but I am a bit disappointed to see how tricky Dropbox Backup turns out to be. Hope this helps develop solutions and a better system for the future
