How can I copy the contents of my Dropbox folder to an external drive?
Device (MacBook Pro) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (macOS15.6) Dropbox App Version/Browser Version 237.4.5655 I am trying to simply copy the contents of my Dropbox folder to an external hard drive as a backup (not with the intention to save regular working files on the external hard drive as I know that would create a problem when the drive is disconnected. I am super confused by the Dropbox Backup website/app: when I go to manage backups I can't see a clear option of how to select my backup drive (Seagate portable drive) and transfer my Dropbox contents over. Instead it is giving me options to backup the folders on my computer (pictures, documents etc.). Please help! This should be super easy and clear???
Backups do not display on website.
I cannot display my backups on the website. The URL that is not working: https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all?_tk=web_left_nav_bar See screenshot below. That is what I see at the above URL. Here's what I have tried: Three browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge. This fails on all three. Signed out and signed back in. Cleared cache and cookies for all *.dropbox.com Tried at different times of the day (this has not been working for about 12 hours) Note: Choosing "View backed up files" from the desktop app works fine to display the files from a backup. I just cannot list the backups and display the files on the website.
Alias Folders
I had to re-sync Dropbox recently and when I sync the app on my iMac Dropbox creates locked alias folders for Desktop, Downloads and Documents. Do I have to wait for the files to sync and the localize the files from Desktop, Downloads and Documents? I want these folders to be on my local computer not aliases that link to Dropbox
