I remember when Dropbox was easy and intuitive sync service…now it is turned into terrific UX nightmare! There are floating windows, ads, push messages for everything. It’s overkill…but most important – I decided to try their “backup” computer option for my Mac....well, it’s turned out it’s a classic sync (both direction, so forget for backup!!!) for just 3 system folders such as Documents, Downloads and Desktop…what exactly backup is that? That’s just a normal sync, but you don’t need to drag your files to the Dropbox folder…how pathetic is that, calling this computer backup?!?!
If you have to use such a "backup" (aka sync), you better go with another provider - for example pCloud gives you the option to sync ANY folder from your computer, not just preselected 3 folders...also you don't need to move anything you want to sync to dedicated folder...but as I mentioned already - this is not a true backup. Cloud storage providers gives you sync, not a true backup. Of course, you can sync any folder to the cloud and then simply stop sync (remove it as a task), so you are free to delete files localy, the won't be deleted on cloud, thus you can keep them as backups.
