Henry,
I am not sure why you say ‘Always copy the file on your hard drive to Drop box folder to have a backup”. That is exactly what Dropbox is doing automatically. Dropbox is a folder on your local drive, and anything done in the local Dropbox folder is replicated to the Dropbox server, and other linked computers if so configured. So, having your working Legacy file in Dropbox works just fine. Legacy will be working with a local file. If you are talking about the zip backup file, as opposed to the working file, you can certainly back that up to Dropbox. But again, the file is first being written to the Dropbox folder on your local hard drive, and then being replicated up to the Dropbox server. Paul Gray From: Henry T.

DO NOT OPEN THE FILE IN DROPBOX FOLDER WITH LEGACY… Always copy the file on your hard drive to Drop box folder to have a backup. Every morning I copy approx. 1.6 gb of files to dropbox Then I can copy those backup files to my computer at work when I arrived to my work address.

Paul - the data that is missing is what I entered since my last backup two days ago. I checked, Legacy is set to "open last used family file automatically" 2. Mike - No, I'm not sharing files, it's just me. However, I did go to the Dropbox website where I found yesterday's date. I clicked on it and everything (including my missing two-day data) was there! Taking no chances on not having the file available, I am backing it up from the Dropbox website... but now, I am guessing... do I keep going back to the Dropbox website in order to access Legacy and work in my family file? Wish I were a bit more savvy here...thanks for your help.

Use the web search to find files, including deleted files. All files, including recently deleted files, can be found on the website. Log into <https://www.dropbox.com/> dropbox.com and type the name of a missing file into the search field. Use the advanced option to search for deleted files. Alternatively, you can just press the trash can icon for the website to display deleted files.
