Does Dropbox Backup RAW Files?

Last Updated :

The answer of this question is "Yes". You can backup RAW files to your Dropbox account. Dropbox allows you to backup photos, movies, documents, music, internet downloads and much more. RAW files are large in size as compare to .jpeg file type. A RAW file can be from 10 MB to 50 MB and it takes more time to upload and download. Dropbox allows you to open and preview files directly from the browser. Dropbox offers 2 GB of free storage space, so it is not enough to store RAW files. But, you can upgrage your free 2 GB account to a paid yearly subscription plan for more storage space. It offers 100GB space for $99/year, 200GB space for $199/year and 500GB space for $499/year.

Following are the steps to Backup RAW files to Dropbox:

  1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/ & sign in to your account. If you don't have an account, then create one.
  2. Click "Upload" button located at the top of the menu bar.
  3. A pop-up window opens up. Click "Choose File" button.
  4. Select the RAW file which you wish to backup.
  5. Click "Start Upload" button to upload your RAW file.
  6. This is how you can backup RAW file to Dropbox.

You can install PicBackMan's Dropbox uploader for Mac from the website and start backing up photos and videos.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
