Why are my files outside the Dropbox folder being synced to Dropbox?
Why unexpectidly, all my files appear with the Dropbox logo icon on my PC, as shown below?
Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunatly I can't find the proper Dropbox Icon with the "Synchronisation and Sauvegarde" line of command. My account set up must be wrong.
I used it initially to receive files from others and now I realize that all my personal files seem to be stored on Dropbox.
No surprise that I have been recently informed by Dropbox that my storage space needed to be extended. However it was not my choice to use Dropbox as a back-up system, since I do it myself.
And now I am stock with this situation. Any other clue to get out of that?

Hey JCRCAN - sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify what happens when you click on the 'C'est parti !' button shown in your second screenshot?
Also, if you have the Dropbox desktop app installed and running on your computer at the moment, could you take a look at the backups tab in the app's preferences and let me know if you're able to disable your backups from there?
