Before uploading DB to my Mac, my downloads would go to my designated location. Now, when I try to download a file, DB opens. I want to stop that and just download the file. Any suggestions

Thanks for posting here, @HugoER. 

 

Do you mean that you enabled computer backup on your Dropbox app, and your Downloads folder has been moved within Dropbox? 

 

If yes, you can disable the feature this way.

 

Let me know if this helps.
