Cannot move dropbox folder due to backup

Hi I want to move my Dropbox folder from C: to my 😧 drive (local). However, Dropbox tells me that before it can do this, I need to disable PC Backup. But I don't have any active PC Backups. ...

Welcome to the Community, Wabla!

 

Did you follow these steps to disable computer backup? 

 

If yes, and you’re still having trouble with this, I’d like you to send me a screenshot of what you see on this page.

 

Let me know how it goes.

    Hi Nancy
    Thanks for your reply. 
    Yes, I did and there were no backup tasks left, but the error still came up.
    Finally, I solved the problem by completely uninstalling and reinstalling Dropbox Desktop.

    It works fine now.
    Thanks anyway.
