Dropbox Backups
What exactly does the Dropbox backup procedure entail? How to duplicate your hosting account to Dropbox?
Dropbox is a file storage service, that enables you to store any type of information. The files are synchronized between all computers in which the Dropbox app is set up and you can access them through any kind of device, including a smartphone. Unlike a hosting service where the files are executed and an html file, for example, shall appear as an actual page with text and images on it, in Dropbox you shall see the content as a list of folders and files. If you already have an account with them or open a new one, you'll be able to take advantage of our totally free service and you can link a web hosting account on our end with the Dropbox account so that our system can make regular backups there. In this way you can have a copy of your info on our servers, on their servers and also on your PC and you shall be able to access it from any unit so long as the Dropbox application is installed, which will provide you with more safety if something happens with your data, like an unintentional deletion, for instance.
