How do you disable Smart Sync on the account?

I have my local installation on Monterrey stuck in Smart Sync, even though I disable Smart Sync prior to full uninstall on my M1 Air.   Some folders are still being displayed with Cloud icon

Thank you so much for posting this. I have the same frustrations. I have been using dropbox since it first started. I have tried other services but dropbox as always been the best in my mind. However, this new smart sync stuff is horrendous. I need my dropbox folder to stay downloaded and local. I can't get it to stop uploading everything to the cloud.
