Linux Computer Backup
I was pointed here to give a suggestion from this thread:https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/Trying-to-backup-on-Linux/td-p/548352 It would be nice if the functionality was added to(https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/linux-commands) Some commands like: `dropbox backup enable/disable` and `dropbox backup add/remove /path/to/folder/or/file` Currently the advice is to mount into the dropbox folder (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1366889/how-can-i-use-dropbox-to-back-up-arbitrary-folders/1366896#1366896)
Can't make computer backup accessible from mobile
Hey, I used to be able to rightclick a file anywhere on my computer and select Backup to Dropbox, but not anymore (after a reinstall). I had my entire desktop and some folders in documents synced automatically, every file had the green check and was available on the mobile app as well. The Dropbox folder on my pc was always empty, I never put anything inside, yet all my files were being backed up. When I updated a file, it got synced almost immediately and I didn't have to have a documents folder on my computer and another one in Dropbox. How do I make the files from my pc remain on my pc (as in not have a duplicate in Dropbox) but also available in real time from my phone/account? I don't even have the green check anymore. The folders that show as backed up now are not even visible on the mobile app. How do I make it work again?Viewing Backups from regular mobile phone app rather then browser.
In regards to having to open up a browser on my mobile phone to be able to view any files that are in the "Backups" section of dropbox.. This has made things very troublesome by not allowing everything to be read via the normal dropbox mobile app. I understand the principle of having the major "backups" be in a different segment of dropbox.. but it shouldnt be that hard to access all the files. Maybe inside the regular current Dropbox app, feature a button that allows you to actually open the files that are in this "backups" section? OR maybe create another "Dropbox Backups" app that will allow us to remotely view these backup files without having to go thru the hassle of opening up a browser on the phone and try and track things down? If I search for a file from within the dropbox app, that is located in the "backups" portion... it will show up, but wont allow you to view it. Just throws an error, with no mention of having to actually access it via a browser even. It wont even allow you to go into the file info to be able to see exactly where its located or if it IS located in the "backups" portion. Its just tedious and a pain. There has to be an easier way.How do I stop the Dropbox from moving my Downloads, Documents and Desktop folders into the app?
How do I stop the Dropbox app from moving my Downloads, Documents and Desktop folders into the Dropbox folder ? When I updated the Mac app it moved the dropbox folder into 'locations' set up links for Downloads, Desktop etc and moved all my Mac folders into the dropbox folder. Can undo that function so that my usual mac system folders remain where they are and dropbox goes back to being a drive on my MacBook? (PS I do not have backup set up no do I plan to)
