Inherit old external drive backup when moving to a new computer

Dropbox Backup for external drives seems to be "by device", so when you upgrade your computer, you have to re-upload / backup every external backup drive again.  There should be a feature to inherit the backup drive from a new device so as not to waste resources and storage space.
