You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Stop Dropbox from creating a Desktop.INI file within the "Camera Uploads" folder.
Dropbox keeps creating a 'Desktop.INI' file in the 'Camera Uploads' folder - been trying for a week now to find a way to make it stop.
Even if I create a 'Desktop.INI' myself, and make it 'Read-Only' Dropbox still want to take control, and ignores the 'Read-Only' flag, and overwrites my 'Desktop.INI' with its own 'Desktop.INI'.
The result is, that the 'Camera Uploads' folder looks like **bleep** compared to my other folders on my system (see attached image).
How do I make Dropbox stop creating 'Desktop.INI' files ?!?

There's no option in Dropbox top do that. Use your operating system to mark it as Read-Only or take away the file permissions.
