You should be able to disable or delete your backups from that page David Russell 

 

If you're using the desktop app, you should be able to do it through the app's preferences, under the Backups tab.

Walter... you haven't responded. You're the person who has a better understanding of what I have done. How do I prevent Dropbox from interfering with my syncing with my photos on my phone and how do I re-link the photos to my computer?

    Do you have the Dropbox app installed on the other computer David Russell?

     

    If so, you can access the desktop app's preferences and disable the backups from there.

     

    Otherwise, you should be able to delete them from your backups page. 

     

    As for re-linking the photos to your computer, you should also be able to download them from your backups page.
