How do I turnoff selective sync
I have one computer that I sync my dropbox folder (with lots of sub-folders) to dropbox.com For some unknown reason selective sync was turned on but two folders where not checked. How do I tell dropbox to forget about selective sync and just do what it was originally setup to do; sync all data within my dropbox folder?

I am having an issues with wrong time - stamps on files. Can you help?
I just noticed that a whole bunch of my files in my Dropbox folder are now dated Jan 1, 2016. I absolutely know they were not created on that date. In fact, I was not working on anything on New Years Day! Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

At present, the standard DropBox capability is to generate a individual image file URLs (ie one at a time) - a very time consuming process when dealing with *lots* of files.

How to cancel the syncing process?
Want to STOP the SYNC - not just pause then resume. Regrettably I began to sync my iPhotos to Dropbox and I can't stop the process - it PAUSES it but does not eliminate the process. I have far too many photos and it takes up too much bandwidth. I bought 1TB - and don't want to put my iPhoto library into Dropbox. I am using…
