Dropbox is full of a backup, but I cannot find the backup anywhere.

Where can you find and deselect the backup dropbox is making. I don't want the dropbox making backups. I only use it to share some files. 

If u go to preferences / back-ups I don't see any backups and yet there is backup space used in the dropbox.

    Hey mlavdh - thanks for posting on our Community and sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

    Can you please navigate your backups page and let me know if you can spot anything there? 

    Thank you!

    Hey mlavdh, were you able to locate and remove the backups from your Dropbox account as per Walter’s suggestion?
