Because there’s nothing special about the Dropbox folder itself, it’s part of Time Machine’s backup set by default. Move a file into the Dropbox folder and it’s copied to the Dropbox Web site make a change, and that change automatically propagates to the Dropbox site. It’s important to realize that one of the key aspects of how Dropbox works is that it creates a Dropbox folder in your home folder and then syncs the contents of that folder with the Dropbox Web site.

But what may not have occurred to you is that, by default, Time Machine is also backing up the contents of your Dropbox folder.

And if you’re a Dropbox user, everything in your Dropbox folder benefits from both the protection of offsite storage and file versioning. If you use Time Machine to back up your Mac, you have the security of automatic backups.
