stop automatic photo uploads?
I have a Standard DropBox account which the other day suddenly started uploading all my videos from my iPhone/iPad - this is on my desktop Mac. I've gone to "backups" and see that the "enable camera uploads" box is unchecked - but since it's uploading from my device, and not uploading from a camera, I'm not sure who to stop the uploads! Why did it start grabbing the videos, and how to I stop it? I've had to manually delete them twice (since they filled up my free space quickly).

Did you check the Camera Uploads setting on each device? It's controlled on the device, not in the Dropbox application on your computer.

Thanks SO much, Rich - that's the solution! I wasn't going at it from the right angle. (I still wonder why, all of a sudden, the uploads began!)
