How do I REMOVE the sync feature?

[Outback6775]

I just opened a Dropbox account so I could download family photos from my daughter. She houses hers in Dropbox. So I set up an account and the system told me that Dropbox would sync with my laptop and if I deleted a file from my Dropbox account, it would ERASE it from my laptop. Then, it sends me a message that I'm out of space in my free Dropbox account and Dropbox wants to get money from me now! How do I get rid of this stupid program WITHOUT DELETING MY LAPTOP???? HELP!!!

Hi @Outback6775,

Seems the issue name is "Computer Backup" feature. Did it gets activated intentionally... 🧐 or might be unintentionally. In all cases, seems the result is undesirable. In such case, just turn it off. Take a look on part "Turn off computer backup" and in point 6 choose "Keep content in folders on this PC/Mac", not "Leave content in Dropbox". That's it. And... Happy New Year.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply. In trying to follow your instruction - I do not have a BACK UP option.
