Hey ANDRE S.7, it's not really possible to set up Dropbox backup on your D drive; the feature currently only works when Dropbox is installed on the default C: drive.

 

Would you mind sending over a screenshot of the error you're getting?

To disable your computer backup:

  1. Open your Dropbox desktop preferences.
  2. Click the Backups tab.
  3. Click Manage backup. 
  4. Under Adjust settings, click Disable backup.......step point 3 to point 4: adjust settings & Disable backup > no options

    Hey Andre, thanks for this info and the screenshot. 

     

    Would you mind sending us a couple more screenshots of what you see, when you follow the steps above.

     

    For example, a screenshot of what you see when you try step no. 2, 3 and 4.

     

    Thanks!
