Activating a Dropbox Backup - SAFE C2C

This section details the process of creating new backup accounts for Dropbox.

Note: Dropbox limits the API calls used in SAFE C2C’s restore process to 1,000,000 per month for many of their business plans. Once the limit is reached, no other items can be restored/uploaded to Dropbox until the following month. But you can still export and download backup data for recovery purposes, and then upload to Dropbox with the native application. Contact Dropbox directly if you have any questions about your API limits.

Perform the following procedure to create a backup account for Dropbox:

  1. Sign in to your SAFE C2C account or click on the Backups menu item in the Navigation Panel if you are already signed in
  2. Click on + Add Backup Task on the Backups page
