Change settings so my downloads are NOT put in Dropbox

[sherronnebattle]

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.

Thanks so much for your help, Daphne.  On the page where it says, "Stop backing up to 2 folders?", I selected "Leave content in Dropbox", which says that I won't see the content in my Mac folders.  I stopped the automatic backup to my desktop and downloads.  Let me know if this was done correctly and if there's anything else I need to do.  Thank you again for your patience and your detailed instructions.

If you wanted to keep those files in Dropbox for now, then you should be all set @sherronnebattle!

Otherwise, if you want to remove some of the files that were backed up from those folders, you can just move them out of the folder in Dropbox.

Nothing will be backed up automatically now though, so your browser downloads will just go to the computer's Downloads folder.

I'll be just a post away if you have any other questions!
