How can I set the frequency for Dropbox Backup to run?
I have backup turn on for my documents folder --- how do I set the frequency for the backup to run?

Hi Frank P E.,
You cannot set such a thing in Dropbox. Backup for whatever you have selected runs continuous as far as your Dropbox application runs.
Hope this clarifies matter.
thaks for the info so any file save in my documents folder will be "watched" and backup if it changes ---

Hm.. 🤔 Yes, as far as such thing may be described as "backup". Keep in mind that the so called "backup" is rather Dropbox marketing trick - it's sync in fact. Like everything in Dropbox folder, all folders you have selected in you "backup" setup gets moved into Dropbox are keep in sync as residing there. 😉 That's it - no much more. The only difference is the place where such syncs appear online - on backups section, not on all files. Dropbox doesn't have real backup in fact; if you rely to backup your things (I mean true backup, not just alternative sync) look around for another services.
Good luck.
