How do I disable the computer backup feature?
I installed dropbox basic to share some files -but i accidentally set up the backup feature - now it says my storage is full. I don't want any backups on dropbox. How do I free up space? It won't allow me to move the files off of dropbox storage unless I upgrade
I followed that link but I don't have the same options when I go into Preferences for my Backup - eg/ I don't have step 4. "Under Adjust settings, click Disable backup."
I click on Preferences > Backups tab - then Manage Backups - the only option there is to Modify Folder selection. When I uncheck the folders that are being backed up and click save, it is like the settings don't get saved. I exit out and go back in and those folders are still checked off.
Dear ALL,
my current plan is 10GB ( 2 basic + 8 gained with the time 🙂 now 5 GB are dedicated to store my files, and 5GB under "Back Up". Now my Drop Box is full. I would like to remouve all the Back up running, I am sure I dont need them and if I setted is for mistake.
Just to be sure I log out all my devices (3 as basic plan).
Could you help me pls to understand how to stop this back up file in my DB.Thank you in advance for your help.

Dear Rich,

Unfortunytely the link sent does not solve my problem.
