Dropbox Backup Integration
ERPNext allows you to automatically back up your site database and files to Dropbox, helping you maintain secure off-site copies of your data. Database backups are stored as SQL files and can be restored to another ERPNext instance when required.
Note: If you use Frappe Cloud, both onsite and offsite backups are created automatically, so additional Dropbox backup configuration is generally unnecessary.

2. Create a Dropbox App

4. Configure Dropbox Settings in ERPNext
