Last Updated :

DropBox is an online cloud storage service provided by DropBox Inc. & it allows you to backup photos, videos & files to access them from anywhere. DropBox offers 2GB free storage space. You can move your Dropbox folder to any location on your hard drive using the 'Dropbox desktop application'. Here are steps to move Dropbox folder to a new location on Windows XP: 1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/ & sign in to your account. If you don't have an account, then create one. 2. Click "Dropbox icon" from your system tray. 3. Click "Gear icon" & select "Preferences..." from the menu. 4. Click "Advanced" tab. (If you don't see this tab, click "Account" tab instead) 5. Select "Move" option. 6. Select the new location for your Dropbox folder. 7. Your Dropbox folder will now be moved to a new location on Windows XP. Tip: The name of your folder will be 'My Dropbox' after moving to a new location. Dropbox will not sync your Dropbox folder if it has been manually renamed or moved through your operating system.

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!
