Do I really need dropbox and onedrive? I am retired,  so not a company pc.

I have a Toshiba external disc drive which backs up the pc every day.

@wmfox111,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

No, in my opinion, you do not need Dropbox and OneDrive. These are tools to back up your files in case your drive(s) fail, but since you already use a data backup system, you can do without Dropbox and OneDrive.

 

Kind Regards,
