How quickly the files will sync to the Dropbox server is dependent on your connection speed, of course. It all just happens quickly and quietly in the background. Normally, there's no need to keep track of the synchronization. If I click on this Dropbox icon, I can also see information at the bottom here that shows me how many files are remaining to be synced and how much longer it's going to take, kind of a rough estimate, but it'll give you an idea. You can also monitor the progress by watching the animated Dropbox icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Mac screen or the bottom right-hand corner of the Windows screen. Once a file has completed syncing, the blue icon is replaced by a green check mark. These icons indicate that the file is actively syncing to the Dropbox server. When I do that, you'll see these little blue arrow icons to the right of each file or folder. So I'm going to move them in there by just dragging them. I've got a folder of files here on my desktop, and I really should store these in my Dropbox folder so they're backed up. To back up a file or folder to the Dropbox servers, just drag some files and folders into this Dropbox folder. On my Mac, Dropbox also created a Favorite in my sidebar that is a quick shortcut to the Dropbox folder. Typically the Dropbox folder is located in your Home folder on your Mac or your User folder on Windows. This will open a special Dropbox folder on your hard drive. If you can't find this Dropbox folder on your computer, click the Dropbox app icon in the upper right corner of the screen on a Mac, or in the bottom bar in Windows, and click the folder icon. When you installed the Dropbox application on your computer, the installer created a special folder named Dropbox on your hard drive.
Backing up a file is as simple as putting it in a folder. Dropbox is a great way to back up the files that are on your hard drive.
