I want to move away from Drop Box for file syncing. I have been using file syncing between and Android device and my desktop for some time. I want to terminate the Drop Box file syncing. When I go to 'File', 'Syncing', it shows the email path and Passphrase, but there do not appear to be any options to change or disable the file syncing. I am using MD 2021.1 (3069). I have backups and know the location of the file storage. Looking for help before I make a stupid mistake.

Thanks

   Load the toolbox extension.
   Advanced mode
   Click the promote to primary button.
   Then you be able to change the sync option.

   Thank you for the prompt response. The toolbox extension looks like it
   will be very helpful going forward. - thank you for your effort.

   question: How do I get into advanced mode? When I start toolbox, there
   are not any options. Immediately I receive a dialog box announcing my
   file is secondary mode. I don't see a promote to primary option. Please
   provide more explicit instructions so that I can better use the toolbox.

   Thanks in advance,

   Rod Biddle

   After launching the Toolbox extension, look on the top left corner. You should find Toolbox Options (right next to HELP). Click on Toolbox Options and in the resulting window, select Advanced Mode.
