SYNC process on MacOS = no upload/download speeds view, No actual activity monitor
Hi! I forgot how it was on Windows, but I think better than on MacOS. 1. Upload / Download speed view: I guess this is one of the very important details we need to have for our dedicated cloud service.

DropBox creates duplicate screenshots on the app.
#MacOS - when I take a partial screenshot on my Macbook (CMD+Shift+4), it seems DropBox creates duplicate copies of the same screenshot. Sometimes I get 2 or 3 dups, other times there are up to 5 dups. Is there a setting or something in DropBox that prevents the creation of duplicate files (.png) when taking a screenshot?

What is the green circle with the white checkmark indicating? I don't want to synch my desktop files, I only want to have a backup that stays the same without risking that if I delete it on my computer, DropBox also deletes the "backup"? Or is it synch with that circle and checkmark. Please advise, thanks

I am on a desktop Mac and I have been plugging in my phone to upload my photos to DB for years.

I don't understand the most basic elements to Dropbox
I've never felt so dumb, but I really think it's just that Dropbox assumes I know something, and they're not making it totally clear.
