When it comes to the external drive backup, even though there's no specific button, you can just delete the backup folder from Dropbox to stop the backup.

My dropbox started automatically backup up my external hard drive (without me asking it to do this).
I cannot find anyway of terminating this backup and it says it will take 2 days to complete.
I don't what dropbox to back up my external hard drive at all - I cannot find where to switch this off?

You can find the steps to disable Computer backup right here.
