How do I disable Dropbox Backup?
How do I get rid of Dropbox Backup -- the PC folder that appeared in my Dropbox folder? It includes folders I don't want backed up, i.e., Documents and Downloads. I'm on a PC.
Hi there Susanna S.2, thank you for reaching out.
You can disable computer backup, following the steps on this article.
Make sure to select "Keep content in folders on this PC" during the process, to return the folders to their original location.
Cheers!

Thanks. I figured it out. I'm still angry that Dropbox decided to back up my Documents and Downloads folders. My attempt to undo that lost me a year's worth of Zoom recordings (which I'm still hoping to get back from Carbonite because of course Dropbox didn't save them).
Thanks. I figured it out -- but I'm still trying to get back a year's worth of Zoom recordings. They couldn't be restored from Dropbox, so now I'm trying to get them back from Carbonite. This is proving difficult. I've lost my faith in online backup services. If/when I get my Zoom folder back, I'm going to do what savvy friends have been advising for years: back everything up to an external hard drive and don't rely on online backup services.
