      Hi Walter that was QUICK !!  I m on the desktop version and i DO WANT TO BACKUP ALL OF MY PHONE photos

      However whenever I plug anything in either my exterior hard disk 'big red' or even my printer Dropbox tries to back everything up !!

       

      And the reason Im plugging big red in is to backup data on it FROM dropbox
