Just to clarify, when you enable the backup feature, you can indeed see your backups in this page.
If you click on the "manage backups" option on that page, or if you follow the steps in this article, you can disable the backup feature.
During that process, you can choose the option to "Keep content in folders on this Mac", to remove them from Dropbox, which should also help with any space issues you may have.
I hope this helps.
Nothing at all yet. I have jut downloaded it as a free version because I dont need a lot of room and my Excel files wont opn in Excedl as I created them but in some god awful packet called excel for the web or google sheets. Where is plain excel, why have you hidden it, why **bleep** things up, why piss us all off?

Hey there Grahame3, could you clarify if you're using the website to do this, the mobile app or the desktop app perhaps on your computer?
Hi Walter I mostly use it on my desktop, plus occasionally on my i pad. It did work recently- I could alter something on my desktop and seconds later the i pad version was up to date as well. I dont know whats changed or how.
