I need some computer help concerning dropbox.

[Michael K (Az.)]

It seems since I've installed dropbox, every time I insert an SD card to download pics, dropbox snaps them up automatically. This I don't need! Anybody know what I need to do to turn off this,"all pics must go here first" feature?

Thanks, Mike

Check your file preferences (I believe in control panel on a PC) Associate .jpg or what ever file extention your photos use to explorer or whatever program you want to open them with.  Or check settings in drop box and make sure there isn't a option set to automatically add files.  These are strictly guesses.  I've used dropbox but not a lot.  Good Luck.

I changed my auto play settings to,"ask me every time". I have NO idea how they had changed to,"please make all photos go to drop box" (it's alive!) Sheesh! Thanks for the reply Skinhead.

Ya, the first time you connect a device it'll popup and ask if you want to import them.
It also defaults to "He surely wants to do it this way every time".
That's dumb.

But I do like the app.  My two favorite parts are 1) when I take a pic with my phone, it's already on my computer in the 'camera uploads' folder when I get home and 2) drop a pic into the DB folder, right-click it and select 'Dropbox-Get link'.
