Backing Up Downloads Glitch
I am looking for advice on an issue with my Downloads folder. I do designs for sublimation printing so I download hundreds of images every week. I always move them to a special folder where I unzip, sort & name the files. Then I assign them a 'design name' & move them to an appropriate folder to be prepped. I just realized last night that DropBox is backing up the downloads folder before I get them moved. I do not store anything in the Downloads folder so that seems kind of redundant. I am open to thoughts &/or solutions to the problem.
Many Thanks,
MamaWolf
Have you tried just turning off the 'Downloads' folder from the backups menu option?
