Synchronize the data from the local destination to the cloud storage destination.

%Local_Destination%\%backupset_id%\*

to

%Dropbox_Folder%\Apps\Ahsay\*

For other cloud storage provider such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, synchronize the data from the local backup destination at:

%Local_Destination%\%backupset_id%\*

to

%Cloud_Storage%\Ahsay\*

Wait for the copied data to synchronize to the cloud storage.

The import procedure is completed.

You can remove the local destination of the backup set created previously.
