Is everything saved to the cloud?

VAPat

I'm just about ready to wipe my 11 year old CPU.  I've saved everthing to my Dropbox app and it appears everything (folders & files) I've spot checked are available when I log into my Dropbox Account on Chrome.  Is everything in fact saved outside of my physical computer?

Hey @VAPat, thanks for posting your question to our Community!

 

If your files exist both in your local Dropbox folder and our website, it means they are both saved locally and to the cloud.

 

Through the Dropbox app, the local and the online version of your files are synced.

 

So, if you're going to wipe this computer, I would suggest you unlink it from your account first.

 

To unlink, just sign out of the Dropbox app or delete the computer in question from the security page in your account settings.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.
