This section details the process of creating new backup accounts for Dropbox.
|
Note: Dropbox limits the API calls used in CloudAlly’s restore process to 25,000 per month for many of their business plans. Once the limit is reached, no other items can be restored/uploaded to Dropbox until the following month. But you can still export and download backup data for recovery purposes, and then upload to Dropbox with the native application. Contact Dropbox directly if you have any questions about your API limits. |
