It's 2024 - almost August.  I have been a Dropbox User for a long time.  I upgraded a few years ago and was happy to be able to just transfer over my files each week to keep my laptop somewhat clean....

Hey K Michael R. - could you clarify how those files are being uploaded to Dropbox exactly?

 

Feel free to include any additional information or screenshots as they might help get to the bottom of this.
