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!
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.

You need to disable the computer backup feature that you enabled.
Hi Rich,
So I disabled the backup for my PC and it's still syncing.

Hi sloohand, you'd ideally need to give it time to sync all the changes.
Once it's up to date, your Music shouldn't be backed up to Dropbox anymore, since you've disabled the feature.
Hi Megan,
Just to make sure I understand - go ahead and let it keep syncing even if it takes days (I have a lot of music) and at the end of that process, the music won't be there?
