I want what I download to go to the hard disk and not to Dropbox.
Hello, first of all, I don't know if it's because there isn't one or what, but I haven't found anything to express myself in Spanish, which is my language. And to what we are going, I notice that,...
I didn't understand anything, I'm lost.

Dropbox StaffHey RamRock, like Rich suggested, if any file you download from a browser is going to your Dropbox, you might have enabled our backup feature.
The backup feature helps you back up your desktop, downloads and documents folders to Dropbox.
So, if your browser's download location is your downloads folder and you've enabled backup for that folder, it would make sense that the downloaded files are saved there.
If you open your local Dropbox folder, do you see a "PC/Mac" folder there?
And is your downloads folder in it?
But neither in English nor in Spanish do I understand how it works, I don't even know how to see what I have saved. Yesterday I spent two hours trying to see what I have in Dropbox and I was totally unable.
No, this is too much for me. You make the tutorials with a very computer language, very technical and I, like millions of people over 60 years old, we are not good at the latest technology, nor do we understand any other language than plain language, not technical language.
So, please, what I want is to forget this. I will already keep backups on external devices, it is clear that these cloud systems are not for me, therefore, what I want now is to check what files I may have in Dropbox are NOT on my hard drive, DOWNLOAD THEM and totally disable Dropbox, I download things to make them MINE.
And by the way, I don't have MAC, my system is WINDOWS 11.
