Dear Support Team,

I have successfully configured the automatic Backup in my Dropbox.

But I need to keep always the latest 3 Backup files only to save space.

Is there a way to delete older Files automatically ?

Yes. Select your backup profile and click on Configure. Set the Enable Remote Quotas to Yes, enable Count Quotas, and set the value for count quotas to 2. This will only ever keep the two backups taken before the current one PLUS the backup being taken, for a total of 3 backups (this behaviour can be changed, it's an option on the same Configuration page).
