You will get the following screen, asking you to connect your account.
If you intend to use this functionality, click on the Allow option to the right. When you do that, you will get the following settings screen, where you need to set the backup you are about to perform, in other words, set whether you will backup all the content of your Dropbox account, or you will manually select the folders to backup.
Regardless of your selection, you can click the Start Now button and start your backup. Then, you will be presented with the following screen, where you can see the progress of your data backup. You have the opportunity to stop and resume your backup whenever you like.
When the backup is already performed, the status index will change to “Finished”. If you continue using Dropbox to store other files, you can now and then perform the Dropbox backup to pCloud, just to make sure your valuable digital belongings are safe and protected.
To view your media backup linking status, click on the Backup Account Settings below the networks list. Using this page you can link or unlink your media platforms to/from your pCloud account and this way be in charge of your media backup.
