Dropbox is a cloud storage service that lets you keep your backup files in your own Dropbox space, giving you full control over your data.

Cloud backups also make it much easier to get your data back if your device is lost, damaged, or stolen, or when you switch to a new device. Just sign in to Dropbox from the app and restore your backup.

How to sign in

Before you begin, make sure you have a Dropbox account. If you don’t have one yet, create an account at dropbox.com. Then open the app’s backup screen, choose Dropbox, and sign in to authorize the app. Once authorized, the app saves your backups in its dedicated area of your Dropbox storage, usually under Apps/Lite Writer or a similar app-specific path. The app does not access any of your other Dropbox files.
