How to completely disable Backup function?
I did NOT ask for Backup feature. Backup just came and messed with my Desktop, not asking for any authorization. Every time I open Preferences then Backup, Manage, three folders (Desktop, Documents...
I thought I had been clear... every time I click on "Manage" in Backup tag, I find "Desktop", "Documents" and "Download" already checked.
- If I uncheck that, "Configure" button (I don't have it in english, sorry) is disabled and I cannot continue.
- If I just click on the button, instead, the Backup starts (!!!),
and now it just ruined my Desktop again!!!
Enough.
Please just tell me how to disable backup for good.

Dropbox StaffJust to clarify, deselecting the folders and then clicking 'Save' doesn't disable the computer backup, since that is the primary method to do so?
If I deselect the three folders, the button in the lower left corner ("Configure", here) is automatically disabled; the right corner one is "Not now".
- JayOkay, so it sounds like it wasn't enabled, since the bottom left button should be 'Set up', which is to enable the backup.
Is it possible the two RAM disks are external drives that are trying to backup to Dropbox using the new feature?The bottom left button is probably "Set up" in english, although the application here is not in english.
The two ram disks are not external drives, they are ram disks. When I turn off my PC, they can be saved on disk or not, then they are re-created at startup, as it obviously happens for ram disks. Dropbox Backup, if I answered the ram disk must not be managed, just writes a file named ".dropbox.device" in it, and this is NOT desired.
