Hello Walter-

Thank you for responding to my question.  I reviewed the link you sent and sadly, it did not solve my issue.

My Android phone already had "camera uploads" turned off, and when I tried to follow the instructions to turn them off on the desktop (or in this case, my laptop), the version of Dropbox that I'm seeing does not offer a PREFERENCES option. Below is a screenshot of what I see when I click on my initials (I don't have a profile picture loaded):

Have any other suggestions of how I can turn off the automatic camera upload feature?

Thank you,

Alane

    This seems to be from our website and not the desktop app anebbia. 

     

    Can you see the little Dropbox icon within your system tray? 

     

    If not, you'll need to re-install our application or re-launch it for it to bring up the options mentioned in the Help Center article I previously linked to. 

     

    In any case, please keep me posted!
