I'm also having this issue.
I never gave dropbox permission to start accessing and syncing the files on my Macbook so it is just appalling that it would automatically just do it by default straight out of the gates. I'm this close to flicking dropbox for iCloud, even though I've been using and enjoying dropbox for years.
I'll explain the situation just so we all have some context for others as I'd be very surprised if a heap of people aren't having the same issue.
Recently my iMac motherboard failed and I've purchased a new M1 Apple MacBook Air. After manually transferring my docs and other files over, I've started downloading and installing apps that I commonly use from scratch. Enter Dropbox.
After installing it and signing in, all of a sudden it is syncing all of the folders and files on my Mac! Folders that it is helping its self to include: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Movies. And not only that, the syncing is apparently going to continue for the next two days!
Seriously WTF. And how dare Dropbox do this by default. This is an assault on our time and seems to be purposefully sneaky given that the solutions is hidden away behind several steps within the preferences.
After finding and reading this thread, I followed the said steps. However when I uncheck the folders within the \"Back up your Mac automatically\" page, and then click Save, then check \"Keep content in folders on the Mac\" (another very vague and misleading way of representing the options) and then clicking Stop backup, it then comes up with error messages beside the folders saying in red: \"Couldn't stop backup\"
GRRRRRR!!!!
So I tried pausing syncing and trying again... But then it comes up with the error message \"Syncing is paused\", greying out the entire page and rendering it unresponsive unless I click on \"Resume syncing\"
So with these steps repeated over and over just to make sure there's nothing I've missed, and several loud curses later, I can only assume we must need to wait for the syncing to finish and stop on it's own accord, before having the functional access to opt out of this \"Back up you Mac automatically\" feature. A feature that your company thinks is ok to force on its users without prior notification.
Am I missing anything?

Update to my previous complaint:
I returned from an outing (had left dropbox to continue syncing even though I never wanted it to) and when I get back, surprise surprise... Dropbox had stopped syncing. Not because it had listened to me and stopped the backup \"feature\" setting, no.. Nope it had stopped because I had run out of storage space and now need to upgrade!
Wow what a fkn disgrace.
I also went into the settings to try, AGAIN, to uncheck and save the sync folders and low and behold, the same error message comes up: \"Syncing is paused\" with the window greyed out and unresponsive. I'm prompted to resume syncing, only if I do, I am prompted to pay for an upgrade. An upgrade I don't need.
All I want are a couple of folders I can use to hand off files between my iPhone and MacBook. That's all.
Never have I ever wanted a complete backup by a company I never gave permission to access my personal files.

My Dropbox is unable to put icon in menu bar. DB says it is corrupted Dropbox has hijacked desktop and documents. I cannot download them back to my computer because I do not have permission. I am sole owner/administrator. When I get one item downloaded it comes as read only. Desktop & Docs are in deleted files and I cannot download them .
