Question or Issue
I have files from my previous employment that I no longer need to access through the Drobox app on my Windows computer. But I still want to have access to those files on my computer s HD. I moved the files to my HD My Documents file, and now it appears the storage has increased by that amount in Dropbox. I have been searching the community, but I cannot seem to find a way to separate my My Documents storage from Dropbox. Can anyone guide me on a solution?

Hi BDeller, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
As it sounds like you're referring to a Dropbox Backup, since this backs up files in My Documents and other system folders, you can follow these steps to disable the backup on your machine.
Keep me updated with any progress!
