Backing up files

Hi Bernie,

Welcome to the Box Community!

There should not be a need for back-up since all content is stored in the cloud accessible via Box.com. 

If you would like to do occasional uploads/downloads, you may use Box Desktop app like Box Drive, you may also use the upload/download bottom from the webapp or use FTP.

Hi France,

Since there is no need to back-up contents, what happens when files are moved from one folder to another folder?  I'm told moving files corrupts files and therefore was recommended to create a backup of my files. 

We have several collaborators in a file and ask them to collaborate via excel online/cloud option - not by downloading the file to prevent data from being stored on their computers.  How can we retrieve an earlier copy if one person deletes columns/data from the file?  What option do you recommend for backup in this case?
