View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
Hello, I have a new MacBook Pro and a Cameo Silhouette. I've noticed that whenever I download files for my Silhouette they are automatically placed with my Dropbox files. How do I keep this from happening? I use the free version of Dropbox for a project I'm working on and want to keep work and personal files separate.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @Lusil ,
I have no clue. How do I find out? I contacted Silhouette America and here's the response I got from them:
When purchasing files, they should automatically download to your library in the software. If you wish to download them to your computer, you may click the Download Now button on the checkout page of the Design Store. Furthermore, I would contact Dropbox directly for more information on moving information from there system, to your computer directly.
Thanks for responding to me @Lusil .

Hi @ Lusil. Thanks for getting back to me. Safari is the browser that I use. I have Google Chrome installed on my laptop but I never use it.

Hi Daphne,
I haven't tried using another browser yet but I did see a 2 or 3 files with the Dropbox symbol beside them. I didn't see a Dropbox folder. I'm also not sure what's going on. I deleted a picture I no longer wanted and got the following message" "If you change your mind, you can move (name of file) out of your Trash or restore recently deleted items on dropbox.com." When I right click a got a screen with a series of 'Quick Actions' that all were Dropbox related. These actions included: Share, Send with Transfer, Copy Dropbox Link, Version History, View on Dropbox.com, View Comments, Get more space to sync this file, Open in Dropbox and Don't sync to dropbox.com. Would it be helpful if I highlight all the files/folders within my Downloads folder and select the option "Don't sync to dropbox.com"? Would this solve the problem? My use of Dropbox is only to retrieve info created by others so that I can email them as requested.
