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

Thsnk you Mark, but bummer. I don't have a computer with enough space for all of my data. That's why I was hoping to upload 1 external drive at a time to get it to Dropbox.
My understanding now is that Dropbox mirrors the device/computer that's connected to it, so once I uploaded 1 external drive to Dropbox, then delete from the computer to make room to upload the next external drive, my deleted data would also be deleted from Dropbox? 🙄🤔
