Dropbox StaffHi Jo93, thanks for posting here today!
Based on everything that you described, it sounds like you have enabled our Backup feature, hence this behavior.
There's no need for you to delete Dropbox, all you have to do is follow these steps, in order to disable the feature and move your files back to where they originally were.
I hope this helps!
First of all i cant sing in, and everytime i start up my mac it keeps saying "could start Dropbox" How can i fix this so i can turn off backup-mode?
