Stop Dropbox asking to upload photos from SD card on Mac

Hi,

Whenever I insert an SD card into my Mac, I get a popup asking if I want to upload images to Dropbox. I don't... and the 'don't ask again' option is greyed out....how can I disable this popup?

Hi @RonBuck, I just wanted to jump in here and ask what happens when you click on the avatar that appears on the top right corner of the menu of the Dropbox icon that's next to your computer's clock?

Keep me posted, thanks!

Disable the Camera Uploads feature.

Thanks, but the info seems out of date....It does not correspond to my Mac dropbox app:

Mac

Click the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.
Click your avatar (or profile picture).
Click Preferences…
Under Import, check the box next to Enable camera uploads for.
Choose Photos only or Photos and videos only.

Clicking avatar does NOT open preferences
If I go to Dropbox.com I can find preferences, but there is NO import tab.

Thanks Lusil

I had been clicking on avatar inside the app window.

All good now!
