Windows 10 by default always creates a group of default folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos) on every new account to help you keep your files neatly organize by category. The only issue is that unless you don't manually make a backup, your files won't be protected, and you can lose them at any time.
However, if you're a Dropbox user and you want to keep saving your files in the same default locations, you can redirect the default folders to your cloud storage account and keep your files constantly backed up and accessible across devices.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to move your default account folders to Dropbox to keep your files protected and always backed up in the cloud.
Navigate the following path:
C:Users<AccountNane>
Quick Tip: You can always use the Windows key + R to open the Run command, type %HOMEPATH%, and click OK to open the current home folder location.
Inside the newly created folder, create a folder for each location you want to sync to Dropbox. For example, if you're planning to move the Documents folder, then create a new Documents folder inside Dropbox.
Right-click Documents and select Properties.
Click the Move button.
Click the Select Folder button, and you'll notice that the default location path has now changed.
You'll be asked to move any file from the old to the new location. Click Yes to continue.
The last thing left to do is to repeat the steps to move the remaining folders, including Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, Music, and Videos to the new Dropbox location.
We always tend to download a lot of files from the internet that we use once and then never again. If you don't keep anything interesting in the Downloads folder, you may want to skip moving it to Dropbox, as it'll be a waste of space, and most of the time you can download those files again as needed.
If you change your mind or you'll no longer be using Dropbox, you can use the following steps to revert the changes.
Dropbox is a modern workspace designed to reduce busywork-so you can focus on the things that matter. Sign in and put your creative energy to work.
You'll be asked to recreate the original folder in the old location. Click Yes to continue.
Click Yes to confirm that you'll be moving the folder and its files from the old to the original location.
While there are a number of other ways you can use to backup your files, you'll find a few good advantages using Dropbox. You'll be able to keep your files constantly backed up in the cloud automatically, and if you have the same set up on your other devices, files will always be synchronized and organized across those devices. And you'll even be able to access your Desktop files using any web browser through Dropbox.com.

In addition, you'll be eliminating file duplication problems, and apps designed to save files to the default locations will now save directly to Dropbox without additional configuration.
Although anyone with a Dropbox account can do this — even those with a free account — keep in mind that storage can fill up quickly, which means that those with a Dropbox Pro account will get the most benefits. Of course, if you happen to have a Dropbox Business or Enterprise account, you will take advantage of the unlimited storage.
If you don't use Dropbox, remember that you can do the same thing using OneDrive.
