I want to stop Dropbox from automatically uploading from an SD card on Windows

I installed the dropbox app onto my new windows 11 pro compute I had some pictures on an SD card that I inserted.. The app grabbed the pictures and copied them. I don't want it to that. When I want something copied I will let it know. How do I stop that.

    Hey Sabine K.2, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community!

     

    It sounds like you've enabled the camera uploads feature on your Dropbox desktop app.

     

    You can disable automatic uploads for your removable drives, by following the steps here.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.
