Activate DropboxIf the Dropbox switch is not turned to ON, tap the switch. You’ll be taken to a place where you can sign in to your Dropbox account and authorize Proloquo2Go to access your Dropbox. You will only have to do this once.

Note: Every day that you use a user, Proloquo2Go will save an automatic backup of it inside the app. When Dropbox is enabled in Options > Backup, this backup will also be automatically uploaded to your Dropbox. Only the three most recent automatic backups from each user will be kept in your Dropbox at any one time.

To be safe, we recommend using Back Up Now to save backups to Dropbox or Google Drive after making major customizations. You can also save backups to your computer using iTunes File Sharing or Connect to Computer (WiFi).
