I want to move my Dropbox folder to D drive but it says I have to disable backup

Hello,

I read some other advice about this, and this is how far I got before I got stuck.  Opened the Drobox app on my Taskbar. Clicked on my Avatar and then picked Preferences. Went down to Sync.  Clicked on Dropbox Folder Location, changed it to my D Drive.  Started moving, then stopped and said I had to disable PC Backup.  Opened up the app on the Taskbar again and paused syncing indefinitely.  Went through all the steps again, but got the same message.  Any suggestions?

    And have you disabled the Backup feature yet?
