Cannot move dropbox folder due to backup

Cannot move dropbox folder due to backup

Hi

I want to move my Dropbox folder from C: to my 😧 drive (local).

However, Dropbox tells me that before it can do this, I need to disable PC Backup. But I don't have any active PC Backups. I deleted the existing PC Backup tasks. When I go to the tab "Backups" in Settings it still shows me two PCs, one being deactivated and the other one still active. I have not been able to find a way to get rid of these two backups. They disappeared momentarily but reappeared after I restarted DropBox.

How can I disable "Dropbox Backup" completely (I don't need it, and it still is a "beta" version anyway!).

Welcome to the Community, @Wabla!

 

Did you follow these steps to disable computer backup? 

 

If yes, and you’re still having trouble with this, I’d like you to send me a screenshot of what you see on this page.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Nancy
Thanks for your reply. 
Yes, I did and there were no backup tasks left, but the error still came up.
Finally, I solved the problem by completely uninstalling and reinstalling Dropbox Desktop.

It works fine now.
Thanks anyway.
