      1. Sign in to Dropbox.

      3. The Dropbox website will attempt to redirect you back to MAMP. For security reasons, you will need to confirm this action in your browser. Confirming this message will take you back to the MAMP.

  • Cloud Provider
    The cloud provider can be selected here. Currently only “Dropbox” is available.

  • Database
    Select the database to be connected to your host. This database will then be transferred to the cloud.

  • Encryption
    Use this feature to encrypt your data before transferring it to your cloud provider. You can encrypt all data before it is transferred to the cloud using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and an encryption key that you provide. The key is stored in the system’s keychain. You cannot set the encryption key while there is cloud activity.

    When you set encryption, your files are stored in the cloud with an .encryptedzip extension.

    To use this feature, select the Encrypt data before upload checkbox.
