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!
