Yes holding down Option key I get this:

The ongoing discussion really reinforces my thinking I have to say. In fact, considering closing the account completely rather than just using it as a cloud with no backing up and just saving a few files or if I have to use it with some work I do with others.

It looks like the option isn't there in this instance. Could you clarify exactly what issue you're experiencing?
Is the computer backup option running, so certain folders are in the Dropbox folder, or is it only the external drives that are backing up to your account?
