Can no longer access photos library

[David Russell]

Need to remove dropbox setting that moves photo library from mac to dropbox. Running dropbox on mac OS 14.1.1

I seem to have another computer which I started Dropbox on. Maybe I need to get on it to find the delete or disable switch. Starting that up now...will get back to you soon.

I had a stroke a few years ago and this computer has gotten smarter than me since...that's a lie...about my brilliance...lol

No worries @David Russell - you can take as much time as you need.

Just keep us posted with any updates!

I got on the other computer and don't see how I disable the backup.

[Jay]

Is the Dropbox desktop application installed on that machine? Could you try following these steps to delete the backup on your account?

[David Russell]

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?

[Walter]

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.
