Why are Dropbox files regularly copying to my desktop?
Why are Dropbox files regularly copying to my desktop? Even files I delete.
Dropbox wont work if you are also syncing it to OneDrive (as the path shows). You need to stop using it with 2 cloud services.
Also, its no longer possible to sync the Desktop now with Dropbox. It was a feature of the backup system, but, removed when it launched out of beta.

Dropbox StaffHey yesthatsandra - does the issue with the app persist after rebooting your computer?
Also, do you see any folders or files being backed up in your backups page?
Does this help?

Thanks for the screenshots yesthatsandra - much appreciated.
Could you click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray and let me know the app's exact status and version now, after rebooting your computer?
Its says, "Everything is up to date." I'm not sure how to see what "version" I am using. Sorry and thank you for your help!

Hi yesthatsandra, if you click 'Manage backups', what options do you see there?
It doesn't show any files or folders interacted with lately in "Your Activity." In Backups, it says only "PC updated today at 3:33pm."

It seems that you enabled the Dropbox Backup feature on your computer yesthatsandra
Could you access the backups tab in the app's preferences and let us know what you see there?
