Re: How can I stop Dropbox from trying to backup external drives?

This 'nag screen' is annoying. It appears randomly and takes up a HUGE amount of screen space. There is no option to disable it. I won't ever click 'Turn On'. You're wasting your time.

 

 

I don't pay for a product to nag me. It's clearly designed to bloat DropBox space, leading to an upsell in storage space. Well done to the genius who thought that up. Did you seriously not expect us to guess what you're up to?

 

Please add a tickbox "Don't ask me again". We're grown-ups. (Mostly.) So we should be allowed to make grown-up decisions. (Like not being nagged. )
