    Thanks for that, TartanTrumpet.

    So, when someone disables the backup feature, they're presented with two options; one is to keep the files in Dropbox and the other is to move them back to their original location. Do you remember which one you chose?

    Also, can you see the images that are inside the "Mac" folder in Dropbox, in their original location on your computer as well?
