    Hi JCRCAN, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    It looks like you might have activated the Dropbox Backup feature on your account, since the Documents folder shows the sync icon.

     

    You can disable it by following these steps.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
