The solution - disable it on the Backup tab in Dropbox Preferences - doesn't work for me. I cannot access Preferences, not on my Win 10 PC, not on the Dropbox web page.

You access Preferences from the Dropbox application on your computer; not the Dropbox website. Why are you unable to access Preferences? What happens when you try?
Thanks for responding Rich.
If I open Dropbox on the computer I see a file that looks exactly like any other open file on my computer. I see the documents I have saved there and a hidden file called .dropbox.cache. Nothing else. There is no 'tab' for Preferences. I can right click on the Dropbox icon in the menu, but there is no Preferences to choose there. I can look in Properties - but again I see no Preferences.
I can't see anything in the ribbon at the top of the Dropbox file either.

You're clicking the wrong icon. You need to single-click the icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac).
