Why is Dropbox syncing my personal files and folders now, not just my pics ?

Hey Megan, thanks for your reply and yep, worked a wonder !

I never agreed to pc backup which is really strange, seems there was a default setting when I purchased the new laptop because my mum's laptop was doing the same thing until I followed your link and also disabled that pc backup on her Dropbox account

Thanks for giving me that info, very much appreciated

🙂

Hi Megan 

This is doing my head in and I can't get any support any other way which is quite ridiculous actually because it would be easier to speak to someone direct

So I unlinked PC sync from Dropbox but I'm still receiving messages saying my storage is way over limit

When checking I have about 1GB of pics uploaded but when I go into my Dropbox on PC the properties show 12GB or over.  I searched all folders and the PC folder with a link to my documents is showing 11GB in storage

I thought unlinking would stop this problem but it seems there is yet another cunning way Dropbox has accessed my personal files and storing them in my dropbox storage allowance

How do I fix this problem  ???

I don't need to pay for a plan as I'm only at 1GB in total but I keep getting e-mails telling me to upgrade because I'm way over my storage limit.... NO KIDDING 

I removed the link to my PC but that didn't remove the files 

THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS as I never gave authority to sync my PC, seems this automatically happened when I purchased this new laptop and transferred files, and now even after unchecked sync my personal files, somehow they are still stored !!!!

PLEASE HELP otherwise I'm just going to remove and save all pics and delete my account because Dropbox is doing things I don't want it to do without consent in the expecting or anticipating I will upgrade to a paid plan
