Dropbox asking if i want to backup external drive?
Saw a Dropbox notification just now asking if i want to sync one of my external drives to dropbox. I use backblaze for my external drives and don’t want them backed up on dropbox (they are gigantic)....
Hey Christian K.13, thanks for reaching out to us.
If you click your Dropbox icon, then on your initials/profile pic, then on "preferences" and then on "backups", you should be able to see a "show setup notifications when a new external drive is plugged in" option.
By unchecking this option, the pop-ups should stop.
I hope this helps!
Hi,
I find it so annoying that each time I connect an external hard drive to my computer, Dropbox asks me if I want to save what's on it in Dropbox! I never want that - if, I would tell Dropbox to do so. And you even need to be quite creative with the options, because Dropbox only offers "do it later" as an option, not "never do it", what I want!
This is a bit too much caring for my taste and I really want that to stop!
Best wishes,
Christian

Thank you so much, that helped, yes! Could have found that myself before getting angry, sorry! 😉 Thank you for your patience!
