    Many others have requested that Dropbox add such a feature in the past, yet they've never added it. You can search the Share feedback forum for those posts and add your own comments to them.

There is a non native way to do this, look at the app TripMode https://www.tripmode.ch

 

Its $7.99 and comes in Mac and Windows flavors. A free trial is available too. I have no experience with the developer.
