How to delete the backup files that is automatically uploaded to dropbox?

Eddiekry · ‎12-05-2022

Just a few seconds after I download Dropbox on my laptop, 2GB files are automatically uploaded. But I can't find them in my dropbox, they just waste my space! I don't need all my laptop files to be uploaded, I just need to share a few documents with my teacher! How can I remove them and save my space! 2GB is enough for me.

Hey @Eddiekry, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

It sounds like you enabled the Dropbox Backup feature upon installing the desktop app on your computer. Could you have a look at this page and let me know if you see your backed up files there?

Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there.
