How do I leave dropbox beta testing?
Recently, I checked the box to join the dropbox beta testing on my desktop application, but I have changed my mind and want to reverse back. I tried to delete the folder that contains all my computer...

Go into your account settings on the Dropbox website and turn Early releases off. After that, install one of the stable builds of the Dropbox application. If you have the beta installed, you will always get the beta updates.
I tried to delete the folder that contains all my computer files in my dropbox, but it says that "the operation could not be performed". How can I delete the folder that backs up my computer files?You don't need to delete the files in your local Dropbox folder, or the folder itself, to leave the beta. Just reinstall a stable version.
If you really want to delete the Dropbox folder and everything it contains (i.e. all your files), uninstall the Dropbox application from your computer and reboot. You should be able to delete the files then. If not, then check the file permissions or other applications that may have a lock on the files.
I have made the mistake to jump onboard the beta and I only have problems since then. my dropbox is trying to sync for days now and I can work with half my code missing from projects.
I have removed dropbox app and removed the dropbox folder and downloaded the latest stable version.
somehow automatically I now back on the beta version and problems keep persisting.
how do I drop out from the beta and get back to the latest stable version? I am on Mac OS Monterey

Hey paris p., how are you doing?
I've merged your post into this thread because it echoes what you're trying to accomplish.
Can you follow the steps provided here and let me know how it turns out for you?
Thank you!yeah I figured it out after endless hours searching for the stable, uninstalling installing and so forth.
If dropbox cared that BETA badge could have been a button to drop out the beta or even provide feedback for the beta.
still my problems are not solved. constant syncing issues.
time to day goodbye to dropbox.
they failed miserabley
