Screenshots in the app is turned off, but they're still uploading into Dropbox on my Mac.

For some reason, screenshots from my Mac are uploading to Dropbox, despite not setting up this feature in backup settings. Anyone have suggestions as to why?

Good that you found it. The directions to ENABLE screenshots don't say, go to preferences, THEN to backups, but you found it. Well done!
