Thanks. I have found the preference now. However, there is no 'save' button anywhere!

When I go to 'With the above in mind, would you mind clarifying if you see any backups enabled for your Documents, Music and Video folders, when visiting this page online?'  will I be agreeing to auto backups?  I do not want that. I do not want anything auto backed up.

My worry is, that because Dropbox transferred, at least, the videos and music from my USB, that that has already been backed up?

I dont understand where I have to go?  This is all beyond me.  Is it possible to erase my trial from Dropbox altogether please.  I do not want to back everything up on the cloud. I am afraid I will lose all my document, pictures, videos and music altogether now that Dropbox is involved, if I do not subscribe? Will I lose all my files?
