Stop Dropbox from creating a Desktop.INI file within the "Camera Uploads" folder.
Dropbox keeps creating a 'Desktop.INI' file in the 'Camera Uploads' folder - been trying for a week now to find a way to make it stop.
Even if I create a 'Desktop.INI' myself, and make it 'Read-Only' Dropbox still want to take control, and ignores the 'Read-Only' flag, and overwrites my 'Desktop.INI' with its own 'Desktop.INI'.
The result is, that the 'Camera Uploads' folder looks like **bleep** compared to my other folders on my system (see attached image).
How do I make Dropbox stop creating 'Desktop.INI' files ?!?

There's no option in Dropbox top do that. Use your operating system to mark it as Read-Only or take away the file permissions.
