How To Back up Dropbox to Google Drive or OneDrive
You can easily create back-ups of your back-ups by nesting one cloud service within another. Since Dropbox limits you to a measly 2GB of free space. you might try nesting it within Google Drive, which offers new users a much more generous 15GB for free. Simply make sure that any important files are stored in Dropbox and you will then have a failsafe back-up of them in Google Drive. too.
To nest Dropbox within Drive, right-click the Dropbox icon in your System Tray, click the Settings icon, then click Preferences, then Account. Here. you can select Move and choose a new location for your Dropbox within the local Google Drive folder or another cloud service such as Microsoft's OneDrive. Remember that doing so will mean using double the bandwidth. because your PC will need to upload the file to both services each time you make any changes. Also, if you have both cloud services installed on a second PC,be sure to mimic the nesting behaviour of the first PC to avoid creating duplicates of all your Dropbox files.
