Any thoughts on what I am missing? Is this a setting that a workplace (higher education) administrator could have turned off?

Thanks!

If you're part of a team account, yes, your team admin could have the Backup feature turned off. However I don't know if that would make the Backups tab disappear or not.

Thanks Rich! That seems like a plausible option and one that I can follow up with internally. Alternatively, I can always try to do it piecemeal with selective sync on subfolders. (349 GB Dropbox folder with only 150 GB left on computer SSD).
