How to cancel current syncing between Dropbox and Google Drive
I selected a wrong large amount of files to import from Google Drive to Dropbox. I would like to know how do I cancel this operation on Dropbox web. is there a way to do that?
Thanks for the update here, Victor.
This feature is only available on dropbox.com, so doesn't closing your browser stop the process completely?
Or is the process still active in the background, even after closing the browser?
If that's the case, can you disconnect Google from your connected apps and then reconnect it to see if that works?

Hey VictorRayan, thanks for your post.
If you just close your browser? Does that help?
Keep me posted!
No, I'm referring to the direct synchronization between Google Drive and Dropbox that feature called "Add from Google Drive" in the home page. This process, just establishes a communication direct from the Dropbox server and Google to import all selected files, so the process occurs out from client (my one) machine, and yes in the cloud. So, there I didn't found any option or path to cancel this operation when I selected a set of wrong files that can take a very long.
