Dropbox StaffHi there Merrily T. - thanks for your post and happy Friday.
May I ask if you're using the desktop app or the mobile app and confirm that you're referring to the automatic camera uploads feature?
Thanks!
Hi Walter that was QUICK !! I m on the desktop version and i DO WANT TO BACKUP ALL OF MY PHONE photos
However whenever I plug anything in either my exterior hard disk 'big red' or even my printer Dropbox tries to back everything up !!
And the reason Im plugging big red in is to backup data on it FROM dropbox

Thanks for the additional information Merrily T.
Could you also take a look at the app's preferences under the Backups tab and let me know what you find?
