Description of my issue:
Trying to set up automatically backing up of my site to Dropbox for the first time. I haven't found instructions on how this is done, but I'm sure they exist since everything is so well documented. Can you point me in the right direction? I'm trying to automate my back-ups and store the files in my Dropbox account.

Thanks,
Jennifer

Hello Jennifer,

Sure thing! It's documented here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/akeeba-backup-documentation/step-by-step-guides.html#how-to-cloud-backup

Please note that this is the first page of a multi-page chapter dealing with backing up to Amazon S3 or Dropbox. Make sure you read all the pages sequentially and only skip the one dealing with Amazon S3 setup.
