To activate Cloud storage:
- Open the main window of Kaspersky Small Office Security.
- Select the Performance section.
- In the Backup and Restore block, click the Make backup button to start the backup creation wizard.
- In the folder selection window, specify the folder and files that you want to back up.
- In the storage selection window, select the Dropbox option in the Cloud storages block, and click the Sign in button.
An Internet connection is required to create a Cloud storage.
A Dropbox account login dialog opens.
- In the window that opens, perform one of the following operations:
- Complete registration if you are not a registered Dropbox user.
- If you are a registered Dropbox user, log into your Dropbox account.
- To finish Cloud storage activation, confirm that Kaspersky Small Office Security is allowed to use your Dropbox account for backing up and restoring data. Kaspersky Small Office Security places backup copies of saved data in a separate folder that is created in the Dropbox storage folder for applications.
After Cloud storage activation has been completed, the storage selection window opens. It contains a selection of online storages to choose from. For the activated Cloud storage, the application shows the amount of used space and the amount of free space available for data storage.
When copying files to Dropbox, Kaspersky Small Office Security does not differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters in the name of a file and/or name of a path to the file. Therefore, when attempting to create backup copies of files whose names and/or paths differ only by their case, Kaspersky Small Office Security creates only one backup copy because a conflict arises in Dropbox.
