190 MB is more than enough.
I just wondered why I ended up having the backup of whatever it was for, even without my knowledge. I just wondered if I goofed up something during the setup, etc... If you don't know the reason, I'd just celebrate the fact that it finally worked!

You can turn off Dropbox Backup with these steps.
Feel free to ping me for anything else.

TIA.
