Linux Computer Backup
I was pointed here to give a suggestion from this thread: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/Trying-to-backup-on-Linux/td-p/548352 It would be nice if the functionality was adde...
I asked tech support, they said you have to use the app (https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux)
It runs, it backs up my dropbox folder, it has no UI.
Apparently, enabling back-ups and adding folders is supposed to be done in said UI.
Meanwhile, there is a CLI which works great (as CLI's tend to). But the CLI has no command to enable back ups or add folders to back up. (https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/linux-commands)
I don't know what to do next.
I've posted about it here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1366889/how-can-i-use-dropbox-to-back-up-arbitrary-folders
and here: https://twitter.com/SephReed/status/1443980016765874178
That is all. I'm not expecting anything to come from this, but someone has to try.

I'm afraid that the computer backup feature is currently not available to our Linux users.
You can always post an idea about this on our idea board for other users to up-vote.
Let me know if you have any questions.
