HELP! Can you restore an HTC One backup to a computer??

[schultav]

I need a little help or advice on how to get some pictures back. A long time ago my HTC One got smashed and I could not unlock the screen to get all the content off of it when I plugged into the computer. Well I moved and lost the phone, however, I still have the back up files in my dropbox. I used the HTC One Backup app to back it up and stored the backups in dropbox.

Those files are in there but it doesn't seem possible to restore them to my mac. I'm trying to avoid buying a used HTC One just to restore the backup and get the pictures.

Does anyone know of a way to restore that backup to a PC or Mac? Or any other way to get the pics out of those backup files?

Thanks!!

If you can't get them using HTC manager, I guess your options are either to ask a friend if you could perform a backup on his HTC or buy a brand new phone, restore the save then bring it back soon enouth to the shop and get your money back ?
