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

I'm annoyed this happened with an upgrade of my computer Dropbox has synced all of my personal files and folders without my consent and now telling me to upgrade or I will lose all of my files.... ...

I didn't because I didn't know it was still there until your post.  I have just deleted it, so hopefully that works just hope it didn't delete anything important that wasn't saved to my PC

 

Thanks for your suggestion Walter, think that might have solved the problem

    Hey Walter, I just checked my Dropbox files on my PC and the PC folder is still there and now showing 6GB in that folder but no longer showing on my Dropbox homepage... I thought this would have been deleted ???

    Is the app still syncing those changes in your system tray perhaps Saffyron?
