As I have a Basic account I don't want or need Dropbox to backup my photos, but I can't see anything under preferences. NB The photos are being stored under the Photos folder and not in the backup folder,which is empty. I need to stop Dropbox from storing the photos as it just takes up too much space.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

    Hi endofthepier, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Based on what you described, it sounds like you have the Camera uploads feature enabled. Can you check the steps provided here, in order to disable it?
