Dropbox asking if i want to backup external drive?
Saw a Dropbox notification just now asking if i want to sync one of my external drives to dropbox. I use backblaze for my external drives and don’t want them backed up on dropbox (they are gigantic)....
Hey Christian K.13, thanks for reaching out to us.
If you click your Dropbox icon, then on your initials/profile pic, then on "preferences" and then on "backups", you should be able to see a "show setup notifications when a new external drive is plugged in" option.
By unchecking this option, the pop-ups should stop.
I hope this helps!

Also, I have the setting disabled to be included in Early Releases. So, why did I get this feature (it was called beta by another person (Lori) in this thread).
What version of the Dropbox app are you running? If the middle digit is a 3, as in 127.3.4263, then you're on a beta release. Once you install a beta you'll remain on the beta channel until you uninstall and reinstall a stable release (and ensure the early releases option is off). If the middle digit is a 4, then you're on a stable release and the backup feature is not (or no longer) a beta.
My version is 126.4.4618. What is the latest stable version (for mac)?
