How do I stop the Dropbox from moving my Downloads, Documents and Desktop folders into the app?
How do I stop the Dropbox app from moving my Downloads, Documents and Desktop folders into the Dropbox folder ?
When I updated the Mac app it moved the dropbox folder into 'locations' set up links for Downloads, Desktop etc and moved all my Mac folders into the dropbox folder. Can undo that function so that my usual mac system folders remain where they are and dropbox goes back to being a drive on my MacBook?

Are you sure you don't have the backup feature enabled? The only time that your key folders are moved into Dropbox is when that's enabled.
I have the 'automatice backups' slider in the backup menu set to OFF.
...but you are right that seems to pause it rather than remove the backup. Any ideas how to stop the backup function. I have been looking around and I can not see where I stop it doing any backups.
I have now stopped the backups to the point where it is prompting me to set up backups... but when I 'save to desktop' it still puts the files into the 'desktop folder in dropbox, not my desktop folder on my Mac.
Anyone know how to remove this divert?
