If you are not currently using Backups, but still see your browser downloads going to your Dropbox PC Backup folder, it is possible the browser's settings need to be updated.

Though, you might want to click on that "My Mac (Jim's MacBook)" that you shared in the Backup screenshot. That could possibly be the Backup that is linked to your Downloads.

On Chrome, you can get to the settings by pasting this into the browser: chrome://settings

Scroll down to the Advanced drop-down, then Scroll down and find the "Downloads" section.

Here, you will see the location of your downloads and can change it if it is directed to the Dropbox folder.
