You have the Camera Uploads feature enabled.

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.
