Under the "Backup" option in the dropbox app for Windows, currently theres an option to back up certain folders, such as Desktop, Music ... and so on.
I want an option to add custom folder to back up.
Reason. My setup is
At D:\Data I have my personal folders and files
At D:\Dropbox\Data I have my personal folders and files, that is beeing sync. to my Dropbox online
I want this option under 'Backup' to be "Add custom folders" so I can backup D:\Data to D:\Dropbox\Data
I've voted for this.
I think that not having the ability to add custom folders to the backup feature is limiting. I have multiple disk drives with important files spread across them. The only way I can back these up is by doing my own local backup of these locations to a single drive, and it's that drive/subfolders that I have to then backup again to a remote location. I do this with the general sync functionality, but it goes against the way my mind works to do it this way - feels like a messy workaround, and takes up twice the amount of local storage 😄
