How can I stop Dropbox from trying to sync all my files?

How can I stop Dropbox from trying to sync all my files?

I've had Dropbox for backup of "standard" / particular for years but the automated services try to sync ALL my files resulting in using up my limits and pushing me to try to backup all files on the hard drives the desired backup files are stored.  How do I get Dropbox to "leave me alone", just accept the longstanding arrangement and not charge me for storage I am NOT using.

Hi @RustyRiley, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you referring to the Dropbox Backup feature, or something else regarding the syncing of files?

 

Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
