      <title>Dropbox defaults to Backups</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Settings-and-Preferences/Dropbox-defaults-to-Backups/m-p/686547#M14733</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;BR /&gt;Today my Dropbox suddenly started redirecting into "Backups" and I am unable to upload files to my account. It seems to want to automatically backup or sync all my files which I do not want. I searched for instructions of how to disable backups but can't find the settings listed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;According to Dropbox help page the disabling should happen by:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/view-preferences" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;U&gt;Open your Dropbox desktop preferences&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click the&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Backups&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;tab.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Manage backup&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Under&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Adjust settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;, click&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Disable backup.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I can get to point 3 but I don't have any 'Adjust' settings option.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;The screen is showing that my Mac is disabled for backups and the only action I can take is to enable backup...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Has anyone else had the same issue and how did you resolve it?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Hannah,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can get into my main Dropbox home page (&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/home" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/home&lt;/A&gt;) but as soon as I try to access a location/folder, I am redirected to&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This only started happening today and my Manage Backup screen does not give me the option to Adjust Settings -&amp;gt; Disable Backup.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you in advance for any assistance.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for joining this discussion, &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1707934"&gt;@cinergia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; and thanks for clarifying, &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1707911"&gt;@NI44&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you access our website through a different browser or a private browsing window, are you getting the same behavior?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, I just tried it with 3 different modes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Mozilla Firefox&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Mozilla Firefox private mode&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3) Google Chrome&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I ended the same way with the 3 options commentad above. When I try to acces my folder, dropbox changes to dropbox backup and i can't do anything in the folders.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Doesn't seem to be computer related either. I've tried with 2 computers and the same thing happens. Even if I type in the URL 'home' instead of 'backups' it just redirects to backups and I can't access any of my folders.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The changed happened overnight, last night I uploaded files and folders to my Dropbox and in the morning I couldn't do this anymore.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My Mac is listed but it's unlinked.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the 'Manage Backup' settings I can only activate the backup for my Mac (which I don't want to do as it would sync it with my laptop which would then run out of memory), I don't have the 'Adjust Settings' option to disable backup.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1707911"&gt;@NI44&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;, the backup for the Mac wouldn't sync to a laptop, as it's a one way backup to the site.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Do you want to keep the Mac backup on the site? Have you tried deleting the backup for the Mac?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't want any backups for any of my computers and I haven't set up any backups either, I only wish to upload selected files and folders from my computer. However, currently I am unable to access any of my files or folders on my Dropbox account.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, no I was scared to delete the device as it's unlinked to backups and since I can only access my Dropbox via Backups, if I delete my device I was worried it will delete all the files I have uploaded so far..?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I was just on the chat to Dropbox support and they advised how to sort this out.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had to copy my main folder (in my case called Mac) from the Dropbox home page and paste it in the same location - ie. make a copy in the same location.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After this I was able to delete the original main folder (Mac) by going into the redirected backups/all page and delete it from there.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I now have a new main folder called Mac (1) which I can access normally.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
