Backing up to online-only folders

Question

I can't find a way to upload from my backup (syncback) program to on-line only dropbox. A program needs a path, not a drag and drop that the browser version offers. When I use a folder on the computer set to off-line only, it turns to "hybrid" (open green circle) and the data stays on my hard drive.

If you're trying to use a path within your Dropbox folder, you won't be able to store the files directly as online-only. You would have to set them as online-only after you added them to your Dropbox folder. Also, there's no way to upload directly to your account other than through the website.

If I had to guess, you're trying to use SyncBackFree, or maybe SE. Is that correct? The SyncBackPro version directly supports cloud storage, including Dropbox.
