# Is WordPress using my Dropbox Folder?

 * We use WPB2D to periodically back up our website onto Dropbox. Recently, I’ve
   noticed that someone else is using the app to update files on my Dropbox folder.
   The files are updating on their own, not in sync with the regularly scheduled
   backups. (They happen MUCH more frequently.) Here are some examples of the file
   names:
 * forward_enabled.png
    sort_desc.png back_enabled_hover.png sort_both.png
 * There are many, many more, but all are of this nature. As you’ve probably already
   guessed, we are IT neophytes. These are not files that any of us using Dropbox
   in the office is capable of producing. It seems as though someone else is using
   the WPB2D app for their own work and backing it up on our Dropbox. I’ve already
   contacted Dropbox about this, and their advice was to contact WordPress, so here
   we are.
 * Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.

 * WordPress itself does not use Dropbox unless you have installed a plugin that
   offers that functionality.
 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-backup-to-dropbox#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-backup-to-dropbox#postform)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
