    I think I have the same issue, so not starting a new thread, here it is. 

    Only, in my case this is what it says: 

    By accident when installing Dropbox I put "sync with desktop". Which I do NOT want to do. I couldn't find any way to delete this. Tried to delete the Dropbox app and reinstall it, but it didn't change this. I don't want this to be a feature, how to solve this?

    Thanks @walter for the quick response. I managed in the meantime to completely remove the app from the computer and install it again, and in the new installation I changed that preference. So far it seems that it isn't syncing the desktop anymore.  But it was hidden in "advanced" preferences which is not very nice, since it is a major change.
