Most casual users think, “Why install an app when I can just use the browser?” The answer lies in three critical areas:

While this is a web feature, you can trigger it from the PC. If you accidentally delete a folder or get ransomware that encrypts your files, right-click the parent folder in Windows Explorer and select "View event history" or "Rewind." The app launches a browser window that lets you slide a timeline back to any point in the last 180 days to restore everything.

Within the same local network, the app discovers other Dropbox instances and transfers files directly (peer-to-peer), bypassing the cloud. This dramatically improves speed for multi-PC households or offices.

During setup, Dropbox will ask if you want to back up your PC’s core folders.
