This just started happening on my Mac. My downloads folder just started uploading to dropbox and I checked back up settings and I haven't started anything there. I'd really like to not have this happen. Please help.

Hey JimHesterman, sorry to hear about this.

 

Did you enabled the Dropbox Backup feature by accident perhaps?

 

Could you send us a screenshot of what's shown in the app's preferences under the Backups tab and one of the app's status and version as shown in your menu bar? 

 

Also, do you see any filers or folders on your backups page on the website?
