Dropbox seems to be re-downloading all my files every time I restart my computer. I installed Dropbox on a Win 10 laptop. The system downloaded all my files and installed them in a Dropbox folder on my laptop as I wanted. But everytime I shutdown my laptop and restart it, Dropbox starts downloading all my files again, over files. C:\\Users\\dhamb\\Dropbox\\My PC (Beepo-ROG)\\Downloads As you can see dropbox has hijacked my computer and i'm totally pissed. I'm sure it was something during setup but my God I just want it removed. Please help. thanks. I too think it is an intrusive assumption to automatically sync folders that the user has not consciously put into dropbox (in this case Windows 10 "This PC" "Documents".

Automatically backup files to Dropbox. First off, prepare a special folder on Dropbox to backup your files. I suggest you to do this to make your Dropbox be more organized, although you can actually use any existing folder. For an example in this article, I have created a new folder named “backup”. You can open a file as usual through its native application, File Explorer (Windows), or Finder (Mac). The file then automatically downloads to your computer. This file will continue to be synced to your Dropbox account, but it will also use space on your hard drive. With the desktop app, locally synchronized folders and files are available even when you’re away from an internet connection. Once you get back online, Dropbox will automatically synchronize your folders and files with all the latest changes. You can also select files to access offline on your Android or iPhone smartphone, and even your iPad.
