When using Dropbox as a remote storage destination with WPvivid Backup Pro, you can specify a custom backup folder name to organize your backups within your Dropbox directory. This feature helps keep backups tidy, especially when multiple sites or environments are sharing the same Dropbox account.
By defining a custom folder name, you control where backups are stored in Dropbox, making it easier to manage, locate, and identify backups for each WordPress site.
