Hi there Suzanne G.3, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

I'm not sure if you're referring to the automatic camera uploads feature or the Dropbox backup feature. Could you send me a screenshot of the notification you get when you plug your USB devices into your computer? 

 

This would help me assist further.

Walter,

I am sorry for the long delay in getting back to you.  It took a while for one of the messages to pop up.  

I have clicked "Don't ask me again"  but the message eventually comes back.  Can I permanently turn off this feature?
