How to stop syncing music files to my Dropbox?
I'm trying to stop Dropbox from syncing a ton of music. I've paused it indefinitely but I don't want all that music to be backed up on Dropbox. There doesn't seem to be a 'stop sync' option, unless I...
Hey everyone, thanks so much for the suggestions. It appears the issue magically resolved itself! The syncing finally stopped. I checked and the music folder was still in backup. I deleted it, then Dropbox deleted all the music files and everything is back to normal. So yay!

Dropbox StaffHey sloohand, thanks for posting your question here!
Can you just clarify one thing for me? Did you manually add these files to your Dropbox folder?
How did they end up trying to sync in the first place?
Is it possible that they were saved to your Desktop/Documents/Downloads folders and you enabled our backup feature?
Hi Hannah,
I normally don't have music enabled, but I was trying to add one song to dropbox. I checked the music option for backup, thinking I could then add the one song, then realized all my music was snycing. I paused it, then tried to remedy the situation by rewinding back to an earlier time, which worked as far as losing the music files that had already synced, but the ones I paused are still there waiting to resume syncing. Hope that makes sense. Obviously, I'm not sure what I'm doing.
