Dropbox Backup updates

You’ve heard us mention (obsess over) Dropbox Backup, and we’re glad to share an update. Now, with the Dropbox Backup plan, you can back up unlimited files on one external drive, in addition to one computer.

Just plug in your external drive to back it up to the cloud with Dropbox Backup—it’s that easy. Videos, photos and personal documents that are stored on your external drive will get backed up to Dropbox Backup, where you can access from any device.

Keep your digital life safe with Dropbox Backup, so you can quickly and smoothly recover from anything, spills on a laptop or on a hard drive. Check out the Dropbox Backup plan here.

Improved Dropbox search capabilities

It’s frustrating when you just can’t find what you’re looking for, and that’s why the team has been working on improving search within Dropbox. These improvements will help you find your content faster, especially when you can’t remember the file name. It happens, we know.

Fast navigation with Dropbox recommendations. Dropbox will highlight your main collaborators, tags created by you and your team, and recent files and searches.
Filter to find content faster. Instead of scrolling to find files in search, filter by date modified alongside folder, file type, people, and image properties to find what you need.
Spell check that allows you to quickly identify misspellings and target your search more directly.
