How do I make distinct monthly backups to Dropbox?
I've upgraded my DropBox account to the one with a one-year Rewind option, though it seems a waste since Rewind is opaque about what files are contained in very large deletions.

New Option: Turn off space-wasting versions and "conflicts".
Yes, I know, if you can get people to waste mass tonnages of space, they can be more easily pressured to upgrade their account.
