How do I stop Dropbox from accessing and syncing my SD card on Windows?
Hi All, I have a trail camera that takes hundreds of photos at a time and I do not want Dropbox to sync them because then I just have to go into Dropbox and delete them. The photos are on a standard SDcard which I view from my installed reader. I am running Windows 10 Home 64 bit. Is there any way to set up my app so that it ignores the SD card reader unless I request otherwise?
I have poked around all over the Help module already to no avail.
Any help appreciated.

Dropbox doesn't do this by default. You've likely enabled the Camera Uploads feature. Go into the AutoPlay settings in Windows and set the default action for removable drives and memory cards to something other than Import with Dropbox.

Rich, Thank you so much. "AutoPlay"! Duh! I really appreciate your guidance and advice. My problem is solved.
