Dropbox is a well known cloud file storage platform. Unlike a hosting service where you can have a website that's accessible online by typing a domain address, Dropbox allows you to store files, that you can access via their application using a computer or a smart phone. The files aren't executed, so an html file shall be listed and not presented as an actual Internet page. The service permits you to access your data from any location as long as you log in with the right credentials. As the company allows third-party companies to use their API, we have taken advantage of this service and we give you the chance to produce regular automatic backups of the info you have on our end to a Dropbox account so long as you've got sufficient space. This will add one more level of protection for your websites as you shall always have a copy of any info that you may require and if the application is installed on your PC, a copy will be available not only on their web servers, but also inside a folder on your end.

Dropbox Backups in Shared Hosting

You could use Dropbox for backups irrespective of the shared hosting service that you select when you sign up and the function will be available in the Hepsia CP supplied with all accounts. Linking one or even multiple Dropbox accounts takes simply a few clicks and once the connection with our system is set up, you could choose if all of your content shall be backed up there or only specific websites and databases. This varies according to the size of the content which you have on our end and what amount of space you have within your Dropbox account. The amount of backups which you may have ranges from three to 14 and our system shall create a new one every day, so you could have a copy of your information for up to 2 weeks back and you will be able to access them on your laptop or computer as standard folders and files. You could change the sites or the number of backups at any time. This functionality is an excellent addition to the backups that we will keep of your entire content four times daily. Provided you no longer want your Dropbox account to be linked to our system, you'll be able to remove it with simply a click within your CP.
