Dropbox automatic pictures download from mobile phone when connecting phone to computer (Windows10)

Hello. Recently every time I connect my mobile phone to the computer it downloads my pictures automatically to Dropbox. Dropbox then tells me that I have no more space left and that it might stop. How can I set the Dropbox that it will not automatically download all my pictures? It takes long time to delete them and then the next time I connect my phone to the computer it happens again. It never used to happen and I have never asked for it. Thank you

    You've enabled the Camera Uploads feature. This isn't something that gets enabled on its own. You'll want to go in to your AutoPlay settings in Windows and set it to something other than Import photos and videos (Dropbox).
