I back up text edit files on my desktop to dropbox folder under Finder. It's simple to do. If I only go on-line if I want to try to send someone a large file. The on line view is messy until I have it show be folders. I haven't been successful with sharing except with my daughter who uses dropbox for business. 

Recently I turned on automatic backup. It was horrible. Banners were going across the display constantly. I couldn't find a way to turn it off. And I knew Dropbox was making a big change, but I couldn't figure out if i could still use it. I have a new Macbook Pro and would have enjoyed working on files from a 2015 MBP and a new 14" which has C ports.

 

I removed all files from Dropbox and decided to find how what is going on. This is my first attempt. 

 

It looks like I wouldn't be able to use it from Finder. I certainly wouldn't want to go on-line.

HELP!! thank you.
