Issue with auto backup
I only want to back up automatically PHOTOS from my phones not anything else but every time I plug something in db starts backing up
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

Dropbox StaffThanks 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?

Hey Merrily T., sorry to jump in here!
I think this is a screenshot from our Help Center.
What Walter wanted you to check is the Backups tab in the Dropbox app preferences.
You can find the steps to access the preferences here.
Is backup enabled for that external hard drive drive maybe?
