Dropbox Backups
Get to know what Dropbox backups symbolize and how to enable them for your web hosting account.
Dropbox is a file storage platform, that has been gaining a lot in popularity recently as it enables you to access any content kept on its hosting servers via any device provided their app is set up. The data is synchronized between all devices, so you will be able to access it anytime. Dropbox doesn't offer Internet hosting services, so if you upload an html file it shall not appear as a web page and won't be executed. This service is used just for storing data and we have taken advantage of the fact that they offer an API to third-party companies to set up a backup service on our end, which you'll be able to use if you host your websites on our hosting servers. With this extra feature you will not have tostress about your content since you will always have a copy of your Internet sites on the Dropbox servers and on your computer system in case that something happens - a script update crash, deleting files accidentally, and so forth.
