Question or IssueHow do I stop Dropbox backup from automatically backing up a file I'm working on?
Welcome to our Community, @Larryc.
When referring to Dropbox backup, can you clarify if you’re using this feature? Are the files you don't wish to automatically back up located within your Desktop / Documents / Downloads / Home folder, or an external ****** drive?
If not, please send over more details on what you’d like to accomplish and on your current setup. I'll be able to further help this way.
Keep me updated.
I did not get the answer I wanted.
when I’m working on a Dropbox spreadsheet it shows saved even before I’m finished working on the spreadsheet. I used to be able to turn of automatic save and the save it when I was finished with the file. I don’t see an option to turn automatic backup on and off.
I would like to wait until im finished before backing up the file.

If you are using the website or a mobile device to open the file @Larryc then its not possible to turn off auto save.
If its on your computer it will only save when you hit the save button.
