Thank you Megan, for your reply and clarifications.
I managed to pause syncing as I needed with the purpose of changing/deleting files without dropbox updating them (please tell me if I am wrong here).
When I create a folder on my desktop it has this path "C:\Users\Kosto\Dropbox\PC\Desktop\New folder"
Does that happen due to the backup feature as you say?
What do I need to do so that in the previous example the path would become "C:\PC\Desktop\New folder"?

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey StergiosKost, sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to confirm that this indeed happened due to the Dropbox Backup feature.
If you have the desktop app installed and running on your computer, you can disable it from the app's preferences under the backups tab.
Otherwise, you might need to visit your backups page online and disable or delete it from there.
In any case, keep us posted on your progress, Stergios.
