My desktop folder got into Dropbox. How can I delete it from Dropbox only?

Hi there acandee - sorry to hear about this.

Did you enable the Dropbox Backup feature at some point in the past perhaps?

Could you send us a screenshot of how it looks like on your end so that we can have a visual too?

Thanks!

...only access Dropbox from my desktop.  Don’t need other access.

...Looks like my computer has been put into Dropbox Backup.  Don’t want that.  How do I unlink?Really appreciate your help.

There should be a camera icon that allows you to attach your screenshots in your reply box acandee  

This would help me assist further! 

I've taken 3 screenshots and saved them to my Recent files but don't know how to get them to you except by an email.  Is there an email I can send them to?  When I click on the camera icon I don't understand how to get them to you.

Hey acandee, if you do not want your desktop folder to be backed up to Dropbox, you can follow the steps here, to disable the feature.

I am not seeing tabs like syn/backup , etc.  This is what I'm seeing

Hi again, acandee.

To find the options to disable backup, you'll need to go through the Dropbox application preferences.

You can find those, if you click on the Dropbox icon in your menu bar and then on your initials/profile pic.

Hi...I've sent screenshots of my dropbox screen.  I do not see a profile picture or initials.  I do not see preferences.  My question is simple: if I delete the Desktop in Dropbox will it still remain on my computer desktop.  And can I stop Dropbox from continuing to bring in my Desktop.  Thank you for your help.

Hey acandee.

To stop Dropbox from backing up the desktop folder and from preventing it from getting deleted, you first need to follow the steps I linked above to disable the backup.

Do you have a small Dropbox icon in your menu bar at the top of your screen, by the WiFi icon?

That's where you need to click to find the options mentioned.

Let me know how you do.
