Screenshots in the app is turned off, but they're still uploading into Dropbox on my Mac.

For some reason, screenshots from my Mac are uploading to Dropbox, despite not setting up this feature in backup settings. Anyone have suggestions as to why?

    Ahhhh, it was my Mac settings. I don't know how that happened, but I was able to change the location. Thanks for your help!!! 😀

When you say private folders, would you mind clarifying more Wanda C.1?

 

Do you mean that when you take a screenshot on your device, the file itself uploads inside a random folder in your Dropbox folder?

    Yes, it loads into the same subfolder all the time... one of my subfolders that I store meditations on.
