How to backup your videos from iPhone to DropBox?

Last Updated :

The advancement in technology is providing people with more and more solutions to problems regarding protection of data. It is always safe to have a backup in case there is a mishap. There are different kinds of mobile phones in the market with different operating systems and settings which makes the process of data backup different. But the idea is essentially the same.
If one such process has to be mentioned then let's talk about backing up the videos in someone's iPhone. One safe and secure process would be to upload the videos to DropBox. So even if the data is lost from the phone or the phone is lost as a whole, the person can retrieve the data from another electronic device with internet. It is a flawless solution.

There are a few steps that need to be followed:
1.    The DropBox app needs to be downloaded on the iPhone.
2.    After launching the application, the person needs to go to settings and turn the Camera upload on.
3.    It needs to be selected whether the upload procedure will continue when the phone is on Wifi or both Wifi and data card used by the mobile phone.
4.    Then, the 'Enable' icon needs to be selected and then the 'OK' button is to be clicked when the application asks for permission. This will upload all the photos and videos to DropBox. But if a selected few videos needs to be uploaded then the videos should be selected manually and then the 'Upload' button should be hit to take the backup.
The original videos will remain in the iPhone as it is unless they are deleted manually. Manual deletion of videos from the phone will not delete them from the DropBox storage facility. The process is quite simple and easy if it is known to someone. It is also necessary to keep an eye on the storage space in DropBox while uploading the phone videos to the account.

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!
