@"Briskola" wrote:... it is no longer possible to transfer dropbox files and put them in the backup folders ... It makes sense to me that a backup is meant to be just that; a backup of the files as they exist on the device being backed up. You shouldn't be able to modify the content of a backup. Seems that would defeat the…

@"Learningtech" wrote: No I mean on this platform? Not that I'm aware of.
